This is a terrible misunderstanding. You haven't taken a look at that
Youtube clip I sent you, have you? I am an Oracle DBA, first and
foremost, disturbing the peace since 1989. I haven't been drinking the
NoSQL kool-aid at all.
I was simply being facetious. ACID rules are business rules and I am
bitterly opposed to relaxing them. BTW, my favorite drink is Sam Adams Ale.
