What is NetStore?
Most information is stored in traditional RDBMSs. That's all well and good, but in many cases an RDBMS is overkill. What's a fast, easy way to make data available across several applications across your network? Many people would employ an RDBMS. Some might employ a NoSQL solution like CouchDB or MongoDB. Some might even write a PHP, Erlang, C, Python, Node.js, or whatever application to track and serve the needed information. NetStore is a solution aimed at this under-served area below traditional RDBMSs.
Another factor that encouraged the development of NetStore is that there are some data structures that do not fit naturally into an RDBMS. Trees and general graphs are prime examples of this. NetStore will allow data to be stored in and queried from these structures.
NetStore is still in the very early stages of development, but the general plan has been decided.
