Google has released a new type of database,On Tuesday, Google announced in its research team blog a new online database called Fusion Tables designed to sidestep the limitations of conventional relational databases.
Fusion Tables is not a traditional database system focusing on complicated SQL queries and transaction processing. Instead, the focus is on fusing data management and collaboration: merging multiple data sources, discussion of the data, querying, visualization, and Web publishing.
In this version users can upload tabular data sets (right now, google is supporting up to 100 MB per data set, 250 MB of data per user) and can share them with your collaborators or with the world. users can choose to share all of your data with their collaborators, or keep parts of it hidden. users can even share different portions of their data with different collaborators.
