ASPRunner.NET General questions

I have researching MongoDB and it has a great performance specifications, scalability and better features coming in the coming weeks. I know that C# and MongoDB work well together. Is there any plans or thoughts about adding the functionality to use MongoDB as a data source within ASPRunner.NET?
Thanks

MongoDB is NoSQL database while everything in ASPRunner.NET is built on top of SQL queries. So you will need to code it manually if you need it.
Just wanted to say that switching to another database simply because it promises shiny things is not a good idea. If you are not happy with performance of your web application you need to figure out what causes issues be that database design, application code, hardware, workflow etc. If you don't know what the issue is you will be having the same sort of trouble after switching to another database.

Thank you for your response. I will assume that the response to my question is "No, we are not planning on adding functionality to our application to use MongoDB or any other no-SQL database."
I did not intend to obscure the meaning of the posting other than to inquire about if there were plans to include functionality for a product that offers advantages. Please excuse me if I implied that I had issues related to data modeling, coding by the glare of "shiny things." (I had to throw that in). After years of implementing solutions, I tend to objectively look at new technologies with restraint but aware of capabilities.
Once again, please excuse if I caused confusion or frustration over my question.
Many thanks

I totally understand. We do not have plans to support NoSQL databases in the nearest future mostly because they work a different way.
