MongoDB is the first NoSQL supported database server

It's been a while since I've started pondering about the benefits of NoSQL database engines. After implementing more than 100 GyroGears solutions, I've started to notice some patterns suitable for no-sql engines.



I've finished all the preliminary tests for the MongoDB Concept driver, the auto-documentation is available here:

http://www.radgs.com/docs/help/MongoConnection.html
http://www.radgs.com/docs/help/MongoDataSet.html
http://www.radgs.com/docs/help/MongoCursor.html

And static functions here:

I've modified GyroGears to use this driver, though is not yet fully functional. The relations, files and multimedia types are not working properly yet.

Here is a screenshot of a GyroGears application running on MongoDB.



You can see that you can use sql-style wildcard (for backwards compatibility). You can regenerate your old SQL-based Gyro application for MongoDB without the end-user ever noticing.

Here is a shot of how the Mongo data looks like:


I've used MongoVUE, no Concept Application Server tool yet available for managing Mongo data.
