In this episode I am joined by Ashok Joshi from Oracle where we discuss Oracle' NoSQL database platform.

Oracle's relational database platform is huge and there are many users, but many are unfamiliar with Oracle's NoSQL offerings.  Based on BerkeleyDB, Oracle's NoSQL database is a scalable solution that pairs nicely with its relational database platform.

We discuss things ranging from querying with Oracle NoSQL to how you can get the RDBMS to retrieve data from it.
