Ayende, who most know to be one of the Guru's when talking about ORM's and by extention working with relationel databases came to a very interesting conclusion a couple of days ago when he received a phonecall. To parafrase his point in "Slaying relational dragons" in a few words, a very real and complex problem had one very simple and elegant solution - do not use a relational database. This acknowledgement is as a see it a strong incentive to take a look at what NOSQL solutions like document and object based databases has to offer. And his blogpost is something I would definitely recomment reading...
