It's pretty clear that SQL won, although ideas from “NoSQL” have been assimilated, i.e., storing and querying semi-structured or unstructured data in an otherwise relational data model.
Why are the concepts of a query language different than SQL, loose typing, flexible schemas, horizontal scalability, and a lack of joins all conflated as being the same thing- "nosql".
I do think it matters where and how you store your data, but I really like how he puts it simple, is not a battle between to opposing sides, simply there is a need for a data store that is not that structured, it is much simplier to prototype and achieve an mvp with a NoSQL Storage, but once you are in the real world you need to provide some type of guarantee to your users, in terms of data integrity.<p>In my opinion everybody needs to understand the differences and use each when it is the most convenient, use the best tool for the right job.<p>But maybe we will start to see some type of mixup between this two systems, because as he mentions in the article, OpenSource is driving the future of the databases, and due to this, the databases of the future would be more dynamic and more synchronized to the needs of the developer.
