I don't see many cases when an RDBMS is supported in this article :)
There is no discussion about referential integrity, transactional support, code in the DB, perfomance, benchmarks, integration, skillset availability, DB tuning, onsite storage, domain specific functionality ( PostGIS etc ). If truly aiming to provide an architect with guidance on what to consider when selecting a storage platform I think perhaps we can do better than this. What are the key decision parameters and tradeoffs?
