Isn't Google BigQuery a SQL on top of a schemaless database ?
- Xorlev 13y agoWell, SQL and NoSQL get thrown around a lot but generally people mean 'standard relational' vs. 'newer, potentially schemaless' DB. By a 'SQL/NoSQL' view, Cassandra has CQL which isn't ANSI standard but close enough to be a SQL.
- deno 13y agoIt’s a distributed near–real‐time querying system for data at rest that supports subset of SQL. Google has scalable SQL database called Spanner[1]. They also have a proper NoSQL database called internally Megastore[2] that provides distributed transactions based on entity‐groups on top of BigTable. Also known as High Replication Datastore and available via AppEngine[3].

That is if Google actually wants their Cloud to succeed.
