The only thing new about "NoSQL" is branding. Persistent key-value stores are not new.

- laumars 10y agoSorry i should have been clearer on my NoSQL point. Yes NoSQL databases may have been around a lot longer than SQL databases but what I'm was talking about specifically was those NoSQL databases that use "webified" formats like JSON as their query language. It's also worth mentioning that NoSQL encompasses a much broader spectrum of database engines than just key-value stores. Technically any relational database can also be NoSQL so long as it's query language isn't SQL (or even not just SQL if you go by the "not only SQL" definition of NoSQL like some do. Though i find that interpretation too broad personally).
