NuoDB is in private beta but the homepage describes it as:
NuoDB is a NewSQL database. It looks and behaves like a traditional SQL database from the outside but under the covers it’s a revolutionary database solution. It is a new class of database for a new class of datacenter.
A technical webinar dated 14 December 2012 at slide 5 had a couple of points that puzzled me.
I need to check some references on some of them but the:
Zero DBA: No backups, minimal performance tuning, automated everything
seems a bit over the top.
Would anyone involved in the private beta care to comment on that claim?
