For those who haven\u2019t seen the news, Oracle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracle.com\/us\/corporate\/press\/1904335\">announced its first major MySQL release in two years<\/a>. Since NoSQL has grown rapidly in key markets where MySQL has historically been strong, I guess it\u2019s not surprising that Oracle focused a lot of attention on addressing weaknesses that have made NoSQL such a big success. Tomas Ulin, VP of MySQL Engineering, even goes so far as to say that \u201cMySQL can combine the best of both worlds\u201d and \u201cyou no longer need two databases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomas and MySQL\u2019s view of the database world seems to be that it will be no different than what it\u2019s been for much of the last 40 years \u2013 mainly that relational technology can do it all and is the right technology for every need.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t believe that. We believe we\u2019re rapidly moving to an era where multiple database technologies are available to application developers and they will pick the right database for their particular use case and requirements.\u00a0 Each technology will have its inherent strengths and weaknesses and provide a very different set of tradeoffs to pick from. Sometimes a relational technology like MySQL will be a better fit (we certainly don\u2019t believe relational technology is going away). Other times a document database like Couchbase will be the right fit.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I don\u2019t think MySQL 5.6 will have any affect on the rapid growth of NoSQL.\u00a0 The reason NoSQL is taking off isn\u2019t because it has a hot feature or two. It\u2019s because it has made a fundamentally different set of architectural choices and tradeoffs that many app developers prefer for the kinds of applications they\u2019re developing today. Adding a feature to a relational database as a response to what people say they like about NoSQL isn\u2019t going to change these fundamental differences.<\/p>\n<p>For example, relational technology is fundamentally a schema-based technology of tables, rows, and columns.\u00a0 Adding a capability like the new online data definition language (DDL) in MySQL 5.6 to make it easier and less time consuming to change your schema doesn\u2019t make a relational database schema-less. Nor does it address the fact that many developers find it far more intuitive and productive to work with documents (objects) in a document database than the tables in a relational database. So while this feature may be helpful to developers who have selected relational technology for its fundamental tradeoffs, it will do nothing to slow the wave of developers who have moved to document (or other) NoSQL databases for their fundamental tradeoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, with MySQL 5.6&#39;s new memcached API, it might make it easier for developers to access data using the classic get and set APIs, but the implementation is only skin deep. The data being stored still gets mapped to tables and columns at the storage tier. Developers still need to define their table schemas before using these APIs, which means that they still do not get the schema flexibility web applications need. Shredding data that is unstructured \u2013 and constantly changing in structure \u2013 so that it fits into tables and columns is a forced and inefficient approach.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note it\u2019s curious that the MySQL team seems out of step with other parts of Oracle. While the MySQL team seems to be convinced MySQL can do it all, Oracle\u2019s NoSQL team seems to feel differently and is busily trying to catch up to NoSQL leaders like Couchbase, MongoDB, and Cassandra with their own NoSQL product. If relational technology is a one size fits all technology, why is Oracle itself making such a big investment in developing its own NoSQL product?<\/p>\n<p>What we see is a whole new wave of applications that have very different requirements than applications had just a few years ago. More often than not they are cloud-based, need to support a huge and dynamically changing number of users, need to store huge amounts of data, and need a highly flexible data model that allows them to adjust to rapidly changing data capture requirements and process lots of semi-structured and unstructured data. The fundamentally different architectural decisions embedded in NoSQL technologies \u2013 along with the easy scalability, consistently high performance, and flexible data model advantages (along with all the other tradeoffs) NoSQL provides \u2013 are turning out to be a better fit for an increasing number of these applications.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean MySQL (or relational databases) will go away or won\u2019t play a significant role in the database industry in the future. It just means developers will have more choice (always a good thing) and that some very powerful trends are very well aligned with the strengths of NoSQL technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past couple of days a number of people have asked my opinion of the latest MySQL 5.6 release.
