No they are not. KVC is handling email@hidden. Not get foo from one store, then get bar and then see what you can do with it. This is mainly a bunch of persistent hash tables.
What they *are* talking about is de-normaliziation of data, not doing proper transactions or ACID in general at the expense of, uh what? Scalability? The inherent schema-less-ness?
My guess is that the "cool kids" use them because they don't need big iron and a bunch of overpaid DB-admins to manage huge growth. It's no big deal to add EOF adaptors to support them, some may or may not be underway.
Cheers, Anjo

Is this just the standard stuff that comes out of the technical press or are they really this clueless? Maybe I have just been doing for too long and should stay away from these magazines.... O well.
