Comment on Oracle on why you shouldn't use NOSQL (PDF)parent

Well, one reason that forces itself is, that the 'value' part is not homogenous, primitive type. It is often kind of tree or graph, with possibly different branches for each key.

This is particularly true with a solution like Redis, where there are data-structures like hash-tables and lists and sets.

It allows you to do things can be arduous and annoying with a traditional SQL database.
