Can we please not compare things that are totally incomparable? Data storage != database. The former is a tool for storing data, the latter for manipulating data. DataBASES usually being of the table-oriented paradigm because then let you manipulate data in other ways than more imperative programming languages, and thus they enhance your toolbox with more than just data storage capabilities if you can use them. True enough, you usually only use the data storage of databases when you use an ORM layer, and persisting as [insert format here] might turn out just fine. Still, I wouldn't let any data storage without atomic transaction support near a production web application under a multithreaded / multiprocess server. David Vallner
