   @musicman Has it really been that long? When I tried it (and I did enjoy it, if it wasn't obvious), it had no way to make one record's contents [i.e., datatypes, lengths, field order, or even fields used] match another record's contents.

     It’s been a while since I played with #Cassandra. It was pretty enjoyable, but it is hard to wrap one’s mind around schema-less databases.
     
     Remember when you first learned to use random-access files in a programming language? What did you learn? That you had to firmly set a length for each record and which contents which at what locations of each record.
     
     So #MongoDB, Cassandra, and many other databases which use JSON are a big mental challenge just because that makes them so different.

     just because it existed, doesn't mean that's the version you were using...or that it was obvious how to implement
