Back when Foursquare made MongoDB famous someone posted a PoC of a NoSQL DB implemented in MySQL. It did not seem to have caught on, but it did make me think of how much performance is traded for helping us not to reinvent SQL every time we need a DB. I like experiments like this one, they sometimes lead to new projects.

To parent: I think all datastores can boil down to a SQL interface eventually. Someday a SQL-interface may dynamically choose a bespoke backend for your schema (or even sub-schema!)
- efilife 3y agoIsn't this a forum about curiosity and learning?
- surfingdino 3y agoIndeed, they can. It's interesting that some noSQL projects add a stripped down SQL API eventually.
