Hi everyone,
It has been awhile since I posted here and I hope you're all doing well.
I have a weird situation and I was wondering about the opinion of the most knowledgeable database people I know, so I figured I'd go right to where you all are. : -)
It has been proposed that we replace a large, heavily relational database structure with Mongo.
What do you think? Personally I don't think it is workable. I'd love to know more arguments against attempting such a thing. Most of my googling finds older criticism and proponants claim the newest version doesn't have these problems.
What is their justification for such a move?. How do they think it will be faster, cheaper, better, easier, or whatever? Have they done an actual ROI study or is this some unqualified guess by people that happen to prefer Mongo for some reason?
