One of the reasons I prefer SQL is it seems to be better are representing non relational data than NoSQL is at representing relational data. ( Not to mention the decade head start on tooling)
- SomeCallMeTim 8y agoWhy make it either-or? I prefer NoSQL when there are scaling needs, because it _can_ scale horizontally. Sometimes it's just easier to use, too, and there are times when the feature set maps _much_ better onto the problem at hand. Not all of your data access needs to scale horizontally, though, and if you have relational data you should use a relational database unless your scaling needs are extreme.
- tfolbrecht 8y agoI don't disagree except for the tiny edgecase where graphs are useful. The SQL/ NoSQL tradeoffs are well documented, saying NoSQL is hyped and volatile is silly.
