AvocadoDB Query Language - Jan Steemann

© 2012 triAGENS GmbH | 2012-04-04 6 Language problems: multi-valued attributes  Attributes in AvocadoDB can and shall be stored denormalised (multi-valued attributes, lists, ...): { "user": { "name": "Fred", "likes": [ "Fishing", "Hiking", "Swimming" ] } }  In an SQL database, this storage model would be an anti-pattern  Problem: SQL is not designed to access multi-valued attributes/lists but in AvocadoDB we want to support them via the language  UNQL addresses this partly, but does not go far enough
