To me that would be a red flag. If it's difficult to setup within your tests then it's difficult within your code and/or too much magic is happening.

Thanks for sharing. "adding indexes to large collections" - how many records are we talking here?

Thanks.

From personal experience.

1) MongoDB allows me to be more agile. I don't have to deal with database migrations (No locks when adding new column for example), which allows deployments at any time.

2) Indexed arrays. Allows to add "tags" to any entity which are useful in production (A/B testing, force specific behavior).

3) Easier to manage. I don't need an expensive PostgreSQL consultant to setup and hope for the best.

Your mileage can vary.

If you can't cook it, it doesn't mean it's not tasty...

Thanks for posting. I'm waiting for a x230t and was thinking about trying Centos 7 and FreeBSD too at some point.

I personally hate it, but my wife loves it. We don't argue and I just don't use it.

That said, you just cannot compare an OS running natively (is that a word?) with a VM.

Can you elaborate please? Linux running inside a VM?

Does FreeBSD play nice with resolutions higher than 1080? I mean, I know linux still has issues and I always thought *BSD a re bit behind when it comes to Desktop experience.

I think you should look for a good linux laptop 1st and check for FreeBSD compatibility.

It could be a shock to you, but not everyone loves Mac OS X. There are (imagine that) other OSs that have terminals too.

Oh snap! I must've stroke a chord. What did I say? I mean, he asks how to grill a steak, but some suggest how to cook brats.

It's not about Facebook clone, they still use MySQL for some functionality (i believe), but not as RDBMS but more like NoSQL...

NoSQL means model your data in a different way, the way you'll be using it. For some it makes more sense, for some may not.

For example, compare implementation of a tagging system in mongo and any other RDBMS, which one is easier?

It may be hype, but when MongoDB was released, what other RDBMS was offering the same functionality? I see Posgresql + JSON mentioned, but when was JSON support added?

I personally like MongoDB for: - flexible schema (less migration pain) - easy tags implementation - product attributes (list of name-value pairs) - GridFS - store binary files - nested documents for analytics (ex: a record for each day with a nested doc for each hour)

I wish MongoDB had - some support of join - multi-master replication

I personally used MongoDB as primary storage (yeay dot me), but currently prefer it as secondary storage.

As any product it evolves and I expect to see more improvements. I think MongoDB brought NoSQL to the masses :)

Just my 0.02. Thanks.

yes, because all these third world countries have a good record of keeping a good log on what's going on...

Call me paranoid, but all "FDA approved" means is that I won't die right away
