> SQL databases are strongly typed and extremely good at enforcing consistency, whether you want them to or not. They are quite good at preventing many classes of bad data from being recorded in the first place >NoSQL, on the other hand, is weakly typed and makes few if any attempts to validate your data, pushing that responsibility back onto you. They are very well suited to storing inherently inconsistent data Actually, I've had to deal with that first hand. It gets particularly nasty when multiple languages with varying type-tightness interact with the same data. It's nice to hear someone else put this into words.
