Comment on Ask HN: NoSQL or SQL database for a social media app?

Comments

NoSQL just means something that's not a SQL DB. But the set of databases outside of that set is very large and various.

Think about your requirements and then consider various databases, keeping the "sql" feature as just one dimension.

(To make things more confusing, you can actually query many "NoSQL" databases using SQL with some SQL middleware)
