"Fast forward to the mid-2000s, when Google ushered in the NoSQL movement." ... Hubris? Fanboyism? Or not knowing history?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL





But google ushered in the era of NoSQL? Seems a bit of hyperbole.


Except it's not. Strozzi used the term to refer to a relational database that didn't support SQL commands, the first modern usage of the term NoSQL was used to describe the slew of databases that copied Google's bigtable approach. (CouchDB et al)


BigTable, but I would say DBs like Mongo did MUCH more to popularize NoSQL.
