[BangPypers] BangPypers meeting February 2011

[Diptanu Choudhury]

Hi Santosh,

Thanks for sharing your 2 cents! So if I understand your statements
correctly, you are saying RBMS/SQL is the "silver-bullet" to all of our data
related problems? I am extremely curious to know what kind of _real_
experiences with NoSQL led you to form your opinion about NoSQL in general?

p.s - I think NoSQL is a very generalized term.
