I did indeed get lots of good advice - many thanks to all who replied.

So many new things to read about ....

I'm particularly interested in the idea of NoSQL databases - they seem 
too good to be true :-)
It's not clear whether any of them can be deployed without (at least) a

with SQL first, before exploring beyond that.

Thanks again for the advice, reading lists, etc.
