Please stop posting this crap. We get it. Enough.

    Others will understand this who have experience with this sort of thing i.e. NoSQL. It is not for everyone i.e. lovers of SQL. Being able to use multiple 128-GIG flat files for a large relational database with random access indexing to billions of records should make this a MUCH more attractive data warehousing alternative for some folks. With the advent of ActiveState ActivePerl 5.26.1, a truly significant change has been made. PERL 5.6.1 was limited to flat file indexing to 4-GIG. But with PERL 5.26.1, 128-GIG flat files can be random access indexed, and perhaps even larger flat files?

      What you don't seem to be getting is that you've preached your gospel enough, and more than enough. It's become spam.
