Many databases considered NoSQL actually have SQL now. Cassandra for instance. Granted it&#x27;s not as critical to the execution as SQL is for RDMS but I would much prefer the distinction to be: RDMS &#x2F; Relational versus KeyValue &#x2F; Document Stores. But I digress.<p>Some of the other criticisms in this thread are very valid especially in the area of why you should use one versus the other so I won&#x27;t bother regurgitate them I just felt like a better distinction could have been used between what they were comparing.
