12:15:48 AM - Antiarc: how do you like neo4j?
12:15:55 AM - blazes816: nosql don't replace sql
12:15:56 AM - Antiarc: I've been looking for an excuse to take it for a testdrive
12:15:59 AM - blazes816: that isn't how it works
12:16:04 AM - blazes816: I love neo

12:16:23 AM - Antiarc: mongo is the closest to a regular column-based document store, but it's very much not 1:1 and you should have a reason to use it other than "it's not SQL"
12:16:25 AM - hbpoison has left the room (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
12:16:37 AM - blazes816: it's query language cypher is really nice, and there's a good ruby lib for it
12:16:48 AM - Antiarc: Sweet. :D
12:16:58 AM - certainty: has only used neo4j for toy projects
12:17:18 AM - blazes816: i haven't used it in production ever
12:17:30 AM - blazes816: but will soon, hopefully
12:17:34 AM - Antiarc: Oh, and solr. I use a fair amount of solr.
12:17:40 AM - certainty: from what i've seen though it seem pretty mature
12:17:46 AM - Antiarc: Though I use it as a search indexer more than a DB

12:19:24 AM - certainty: yakko_: closest to sql-replacement would be neo4j, imho
