I never really understood how anyone expected to have a sensible debate on "thing" vs "anything that isn't thing" (I realize "NoSQL" is somewhat better defined than that, but not by much).
- yellowapple 7y agoAgreed. The more meaningful debate would be "relational" v. "not relational", albeit marginally (swapping "not relational" for something more specific like "document" or "key-value" would be even more meaningful). There are indeed relational databases that are technically "NoSQL", like Mnesia.
