The problem with this simplification os the problem-space is that ACID properties cannot be maintained (see CAP) when you start moving to a distributed model. The "no SQL" group is just using it as a catchy hook upon which to hang their hat, it is not SQL per se but the traditional RDBMS that is reaching its limits, but it was hard to make a memorable name that included "RDBMS" :)

- mblakele 17y agoI think SQL has its limits too, for example in hierarchical use cases. While it is possible to write extremely complicated CONNECT BY clauses in SQL, I would prefer XPath and XQuery for that job.
