Rick's team offers expert, hands-on-keyboard advice to customers on how to effectively model their data. I'd say everyone should have a "Rick's team" but you'd first need a Rick and, well, there's only one of him (and you can't have him ).

RDBMS adoption driven by inertia not technical merit
By

I agree RDBMSes are great. I also think the primary reason they're so widely used has less to do with being The Right Solution™ and more to do with Been Around For A Long Time™. 🙂 Inertia more than "best fit" (but that's generally true in tech evolution).

Database Types and Their Varying Data Handling Capabilities
By

I was just looking at old decks and Jared's use of that image was all over them. It *is* true, if perhaps overstated. I think we can agree that different types of databases handle different kinds of data better (or worse).
