To arms, brothers! Fight against the SQL oppression!
It seems that there is a renewal of the non-relational database movement. Since I know nothing about the specifics I will list only a few links that I found relevant:
No to SQL? Anti-database movement gains steam
NOSQL debrief
Neo4j - The Benefits of Graph Databases
Of course, this "revolution" is only gaining momentum because of the huge quantity of data being moved around on the web. There can be no centralised system that could handle Google, Facebook, Amazon data sizes and therefore they all move to distributed systems. Tables are now a hinderance, rather than a programming advantage and object oriented schemas step forward.
Will that change our daily work as developers? Well, only if we decide to use some "live" database system to store our data. As proven by the previous "revolution", relational works pretty well for small systems or networks.
