That is a brilliant consideration, and one that in theory I should spend a lot more time researching.

I have to admit, I know little about how they work.

There is a lot of relational data in my Database, as well as the less relational 'text' issue I exposed in the main post.

I'd be interested to look at NoSQLs and find out how the balance would work.

Unfortunately, whilst that all might go toward a long term final solution, the immediate term is a lot simpler.

I simply do not have access to anything but MS SQL.

And to adopt a new product, in my corporate environment; well you might see something in 2 or 3 years if lucky.

But thanks for the response.

I'm going to be sure to add that to my report and flag it for awareness going forward.
