2010 is the year developers take back the database?

It's difficult for any web developer not to be excited by the prospect of developing with a NoSQL database.

What is even more amazing is that in the space of just a few months, three separate startups with three separate (competing?) NoSQL database products have been gaining significant traction with investor funding.

Relaxed Inc raises 2 Million (CouchDB Database)

Basho raises 4.7 million (Riak Database)

10gen raises 3.4 million (MongoDB Database)

Exciting times!
