That makes sense, sounds like it got away from you (kind of like "agile", which has lost a lot of its original meaning). But there's a reason it got away from you, and that "NoSql" struck a broader chord. There are a lot of reasons people would say "no sql". Some of them are good, some of them are ill-considered, and some are probably just a matter of personal preference. I personally like sql and relational algebra, but that doesn't mean I enjoy writing a lot of dull sql for crud apps, so even a SQL fanboy like me does see some merit to a more general "no sql" movement. I'm just interested in trying to figure out/catalog the various objections, why people have them, whether they are based on a misunderstanding of SQL/RDBMS or are very valid, and so forth. I think it's a good discussion.
