What "SQL nightmare" is this?
For the record, I mostly work on "NoSQL" databases now (am an HBase committer). But I have no qualms with SQL, and it is certainly not a nightmare.
- jfb 14y agoThe godawful syntax (UPDATE vs INSERT). The godawful semantics -- it's not closed under composition, for instance; too, it is not set based, which means all kinds of hideous contortions with DISTINCT and whatnot. I don't have much time for the K/V stores (save Redis) but I'm also sick like unto death with SQL.
