The most important algorithm

Danny Nieuwegein wrote in the blog post “Persistency Solution Decision Algorithm” about his strategy for picking a persistence solution:

IF rdbms is already in use THEN
  IF problem is trivial THEN
     Spring JDBC
  ELSE
     iBATIS
ELSE
  a graph DB

He also gives some thoughts on the problems with object-relational mapping as well. Last but not least, Neo4j gets mentioned. It’s really nice to see that developers are starting to think about using a graph database!
