Another mistake that is constantly repeated when people discuss `NoSQL` data stores.
Performance / Scale is not the only reason to choose an alternative ('NoSQL') data store, they all have varying feature sets / capabilities and little or large points of interest which may be perfect or terrible depending on your use case.

- daleharvey 12y agoSure thats another reason people may use alternative data stores. Again its not 'the' reason its one of various reasons.
