If you still haven’t read Adam Jacob’s paper “The Pathologies of Big Data” that I linked to previously, go read it.
Also interesting, Dare Obasanjo’s recent post on denormalization in which he makes some similar arguments, complete with examples.
I also had not heard before of the supposed “NoSQL Movement“, that Dare mentions. Very interesting.

There is a nice article from Adam Jacobs in the most recent CACM magazine entitled “The Pathologies of Big Data”. Jacobs discusses the fact that it is often easier to put data into a database than it is to get data out, as well as strategies for improving how we work with large datasets. It’s an interested read.
