But there are other concerns to be raised on using a denormalized schema.
KiokuDB doesn't so much use a denormalized schema as it uses no schema at all. Using the DBI backend for Kioku your schema basically looks like this:
sqlite> .tables
entries gin_index
sqlite> .schema entries
CREATE TABLE entries (
id varchar NOT NULL,
data blob NOT NULL,
class varchar,
root boolean NOT NULL,
tied char(1),
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
sqlite> .schema gin_index
CREATE TABLE gin_index (
id varchar NOT NULL,
value varchar NOT NULL
);
CREATE INDEX gin_index_ids_gin_index ON gin_index (id);
CREATE INDEX gin_index_values_gin_index ON gin_index (value);
I suspect (but I don't know for sure) that with this we can still take advantage of the concurrency inherent in the RDBMS we use.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
