• For the last decades Relational Databases (RDBMS) ruled the Data Stores

• Object Oriented Databases (OODBMS) were already here in 1985, when OOP started to rule

• RDBMS beat the OODBMS by far back in the 80’s

• SQL is the language used to interact with RDBMSs

So why now?

• Moore’s law is out – we can’t double the horsepower every 18 months now

• Technology is cheap, servers are cheap, we can scale by adding more servers instead of more memory & more CPU

• We have more data then before, and ‘one size fits all’ is making less sense

• Bottom line: it was just a matter of time.

So what & when?

• NoSQL is not ACID – remember this if data integrity is managed on the data store

• All SQL data-stores support stored procedures, but so some NoSQL data-stores

• NoSQL is easier to scale at start – architecture doesn’t need to be deeply designed in advance

• You can always migrate data-stores + effort costs!

• Don’t use one just because it’s cool!

SQL or NoSQL ?
