Show HN: schemafreedb.com - new, dream database service for web developers? Hello, I'm Eric, developer and co-founder of Xornet, Inc. the company behind our new service, SchemafreeDB.
This is a 2nd submission... we removed some obscurity from the original submission title. SchemafreeDB was designed from the ground-up to enable Rapid Database Development for web developers. SchemafreeDB's unique combination of features include: * Creation of free-form data structures on the fly at insert-time. e.g. Simply add an attribute 'phone-extension' to any phone object, without disturbing your existing phone objects, all without visiting a schema design stage. * Full SQL support for querying across disparate object structures. * You don't have to worry about issuing UPDATE TABLE on large data sets. In fact, we did away with the entire concept of UPDATE TABLE. * Support for complex, nested data structures. Objects can contain simple attributes (String, Int, etc) or other Objects. * Familiar SQL query language. * Simple join-free, dot-notated syntax (e.g. WHERE $s:person.address.city='Rochester' AND $i:person.income>50000). This is familiar to the ease of working in an ORM, but without the impedance mismatch between in-memory objects and database objects. * Free indexing. Delivers fast index-like queries without index configuration, AND at the same time delivers inserts at fast no-index speeds. * Lightweight, consistent, platform-neutral connection library - JSON over HTTP. Access your database the same way from from any network-enabled platform. We are currently in Alpha. Please check us out at http://schemafreedb.com |
