People behind NoSQL movement understand SQL better, than any people glorifying SQL here. In fact, I think this is a testament of how poorly most people actually understand SQL, they can't even see basic on the surface problems with it.
- GVIrish 8y agoI think there are people who went with NoSQL because it fit their specific needs better than a regular RDBMS, and people who went NoSQL because they found it easier to work with than a RDBMS (at first). The latter group often didn't want to learn SQL and went with NoSQL's as a shortcut, not because they had an intimate understanding of the tradeoffs between the approaches and decided NoSQL was the better option.
- collyw 8y agoThere was the third group of resume driven developers who bought into the MongoDB hype around 6 or 7 years ago, which probably overlapped with the second group a bit.
- collyw 8y agoAll I heard from NoSQL proponents was that "relational databases don't scale". These same people were usually dealing with data sets that would fit easily onto a single server.
