“Traditional databases ... don't have a multi-model capability. Point is that richer data models are underused, relational data models are overused, and graph data models have so many advantages that shouldn't be ignored. Relational models, on the other hand, have wildly complex structures often with hundreds to thousands of tables. Each table then contains tens to hundreds of columns, arbitrarily constructed in each and every relational system. And just in case the situation wasn't complex enough, many of those columns are exist exclusively to manage uniqueness and provide connections to other tables. This Structure-FIrst approach produced the cascade of complexity from which we have struggled to recover ever since.”
