i tried to explicitly make the point that MongoDB is not a replacement for MySQL, it is rather following a similar path from a licensing, usage and market reaction standpoint. and that mongo's course within the nosql world may follow the pattern we saw mysql track w/in the relational database market.

from this comment, it doesn't seem like i was successful on that score.



Apparently I managed to overlook your statement about it not being a replacement. It's just that the title of the post seems to be in contradiction with that.

MongoDB is indeed an interesting software and it's on a promising start. I'll be interested to see where it's going. Maybe one day the title of your post will be true.
