A document oriented database or data store does not use tables for storing data. It stores each record as a document with certain characteristics. So a multiple documents in this type of store can have different characteristics - which means different number of fields per record and different fields per row. The benefit would be that if you are using a document oriented database for storing a

Having written about what I think is cool about the upcoming MySQL Conference and the MySQL Camp, now I want to finish up with what I’d like to see at the Percona Performance Conference. Just to recap, this is a conference we created to serve those who want to learn about performance — not “learn about MySQL,” not “learn about database performance,” just learn about performance, period.

I want to see everything. I think this is going to be the single best conference I’ve ever been to. Even the way the conference is organized is exciting. For example, it’s running from early morning till late at night, nonstop. The sessions are also (mostly) only 25 minutes. This means if you decide a session isn’t all that interesting, you didn’t spend much time on it, and you don’t have long to wait for the next one.

So here is a small sample of the …

I’ll be giving my new “Advanced CouchDB” talk at the Dutch PHP Conference (DPC) in June. I’m looking forward to go to Amsterdam again after ApacheCon EU a few weeks back.

The talk will be about different data modelling patterns, making the most of views, building distributed applications with replication and share some hints on high-performance.

DPC’s line up looks pretty sweet. I like that it focusses on advanced topics. This is something I see missing from other conferences and I hope to see some interesting talks and I hope that mine is worthwhile and interesting enough for you :)

PS: The Early Bird registration ends April 30th

If you like to meet the CouchDB crowd, here are two good opportunities.

London

J Chris Anderson (@jchris) and I (@janl) are hosting a CouchDB meetup in central London this Saturday (March 21th). The plan so far is to hit an English Pub and share a few pints with friends.

We put up a wiki page where you can register (it’s free of course), so we know how much seats to look for. If you know a good place to got to, add your suggestion to the page, thanks!

Amsterdam
