If this is about NoSQL databases, I dont think SQL is useful for databases which does not follow first normal form. But any alternative to SQL for relational databases will fight an uphill battle. While SQL is somewhat clunky, it is also deeply entrenched.
- Olreich 3y agoSQL selection works perfectly on tables in poor normal forms. If you have the columns you need to query pre-joined into the table you’re querying, you just skip the joins. Updates are what gets fun if you don’t have normal form.
- bazoom42 3y agoFirst normal form disallows nested tables and SQL does not support querying nested tables.
