Death of the database

Anyone seen their workload reduced due to unstructured data?

Death of the database

As improvements in networking technologies lead to real-time connectivity to any data, that data will be best kept closest to its natural source rather than at the intersection of a database's row and tuple. At last week's Symposium ITxpo, Gartner analysts backed up that premise with two examples: an RFID-tag equipped can of soup, and a chip embedded in the back of a human hand. Must data always be stored -- or cached -- in a database? If not, it's time for DBAs and BI vendors to to reinvent themselves. *http://ct.zdnet.com.com/clicks?c=625728-4778725&brand=zdnet&ds=5&fs=0*<http://ct.zdnet.com.com/clicks?c=625728-4778725&brand=zdnet&ds=5&fs=0>
