Panel Talk
Surge Panel Discussion: "SQL vs NoSQL"
Day 1 - 5:00 pm
Location: Corinthian
noSQL isn't new, but it has a new fervor in the web community. There has been a relentless battle of fanatics (similar to the vi vs. emacs wars) arguing which is better. The interesting truth is that almost all large (and successful) web properties use both. This panel will not focus on which is better, but talk instead about how they are different and the specific uses for which they are better.
