In this episode, I hosted Pramod Sadalge, principal consultant at ThoughtWorks to talk about NoSQL.

At ThoughtWorks Pramod enjoys the rare role of bridging the divide between database professionals and application developers. He is usually sent in to clients with particularly challenging data needs, which require new technologies and techniques.

In this session Pramod talked about NoSQL in two phases: In the first phase, the talk focuses on core concepts needed to understand NoSQL databases, NoSQL data models, in particular the role of aggregates and the consequences of schema-less models, options for distribution and the consequences of maintaining consistency.

In the second phase, the talk focuses on implementation details and looks at some representative databases so you can get a feel for how real NoSQL databases work using Riak, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Neo4J and also looks at how to implement evolutionary design with schema migration -- an essential requirement even with schema-less databases.
