But at the enterprise level (i.e. lots of different programs over a large organization) I still see RDBMS as the winner. And the reason I see it this way is simply: SQL/RDB can be seen as a DSL system for dealing with set data. There is a tremendous amount of power built into it for this particular domain that would be difficult to make more concise in another way. I suppose it is just a question of how comfortable one is with SQL.
I never had the opportunity to work on an Object Oriented Database (such as Gemstone) used for integration between multiple applications, as would be a RDB. I suppose it could offer very efficient, simple and powerfull solution for integration.
Anyone has some feedback?
