Tales of the Trade #3: MySQL vs. NoSQL

Apparently the message from the comic below was not well conceived.

Following the strip I’ve added some spoiler notes.

This is not about bashing NoSQL. Apparently some people feel this way.

This is about:

  • Trying to judge/analyze NoSQL as if it were a single entity, thereby asking “should I use MySQL or NoSQL”?
  • The fact Wikipedia defines NoSQL as a “movement” (who’s the leader?)
  • The fact that people are still arguing on how “MySQL” should be pronounced.

Nice post. NoSQL is suitable for specific set of problems, it does not solve *all* problems. So choose NoSQL only if it is suitable for the problem.
