You can't spell NoSQL without the word no.
This is why I try never to use the word NoSQL. It's a flamebait word, deliberately engineered to add heat rather than light. There's no such thing as "a NoSQL database"; there are only databases. Even the relational databases that parse SQL have significant differences, and the databases that don't speak SQL are all over the map.
- cperciva 15y agoYou can't spell NoSQL without the word no. Nor can you spell it without the word os. But I don't think we're talking about a mouth or other external opening. A lot of people now read "NoSQL" as "Not Only SQL", which seems more positive than negative.
- mechanical_fish 15y agoThat's creative; if I ever find myself backed into a corner and forced to pronounce NoSQL out loud I will borrow that reading.
- ssmoot 15y agoMaybe I've just been living under a rock, but that's the first time I've ever seen "Not Only SQL". I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
- cperciva 15y agoNot Only SQL has been around for at least two years: http://twitter.com/#!/simonw/status/5339626595 http://twitter.com/#!/simonw/status/5339626595 I'm not sure who came up with it or when.
- hello_moto 15y agoIn the enterprise community, they call it Data Warehouse or Analytics solution. Which probably work out for the better.
- rbanffy 15y ago> and the databases that don't speak SQL are all over the map And have been since the punchcard days. For many people, it's hard to imagine there have been databases of all types, feature sets and performance characteristics before the dawn of SQL.
