TO: jdporter...
Others will understand this who have experience with this sort of thing i.e. NoSQL. It is not for everyone i.e. lovers of SQL.
Being able to use multiple 128-GIG flat files for a large relational database with random access indexing to billions of records should make this a MUCH more attractive data warehousing alternative for some folks. With the advent of ActiveState ActivePerl 5.26.1, a truly significant change has been made. PERL 5.6.1 was limited to flat file indexing to 4-GIG. But with PERL 5.26.1, 128-GIG flat files can be random access indexed, and perhaps even larger flat files?
