Seems like all the NoSQL databases eventually implement SQL, maybe we should use EventuallySQL instead NoSQL

MongoDB took about 8 years to fully implement SQL features but they forced it into their god-awful syntax. At least Elastic stuck with SQL?

  MongoDB has an SQL interface these days if you need it https://www.mongodb.com/atlas/sql https://www.mongodb.com/atlas/sql

A reminder that NoSQL stands for "not only SQL"

  In a practical sense what it really means is "non-RDBMS." Even more specifically what it means is "any of the database technologies that were created or popularized in the period following RDBMS dominance in order to circumvent the performance limitations RDBMS technologies encountered at internet scale." SQL just, unfortunately, was treated somewhat synonymously with RDBMS.

What other prominent NoSQL databases eventually implemented SQL for queries?
- jedberg 4y ago
  Cassandra added CQL which is very similar to but not exactly SQL.

    I don't think it's fair to say it's a NoSQL database. It's very much a transactional, consistent SQL database.

  Microsoft's CosmosDB (their DocumentDB clone) has a SQL-like (yes) interface.

  Even DynamoDb has one https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/ql-reference.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerg...
