Interested in some opinions on whether SQL is becoming obsolete. At my place of work,开发者_StackOverflow ORMs (in particular, Doctrine) are growing more popular for our web dev projects, and early indications seem to be suggesting that it's capable of doing pretty much everything we need for these small to medium sized apps (haven't yet had any major reporting requirements though). Is this the future of data modelling for web dev projects? (Apologies in advance if this is not the forum for this type of question).

SQL is not obsolete nor is it becoming so. There are plenty of programmatic interfaces that make it less of a requirement to learn it in the early stages of application development, but nothing replaces good knowledge about it.

It is also interesting to note that several NoSQL backends support a subset of SQL as an interface to them. It will be a long time before it goes away.
