Not even networked, surely not a replacement for a sqldb server. That's not really what you have in mind when you say "nosql". nosql appeared when they started to call it so... Redis/couchdb were among the first I think, which were called nosql (don't trust my words on that). For sure I know not-sql predates sql. Like IMS(1968) predates DB2, from which we got SQL. But not-sql was not called nosql :-)
