I've been watching this and will first lay out the disclaimer... I am a
DBA... That said, I agree that there are apps that don't need the full
power of an RDBMS behind them. However, we find ourselves here with many
little one off apps. They were a "temporary" work around, or built for a
specific use. Of course in the requirements, all parties agreed that each
app would never be needed to integrate with another system or pass data
into something else. Yeah, Right!
If at any point in the future your one-off/niche app needs to pass it's
data to corporate systems for data analysis, warehousing, adhoc reporting,
etc. you will want the power of a database behind it. If for no other
reason than to make these integrations work with less pain to your
developers that have the hateful task of nailing all these jello blobs to
the wall.
