NoSQL

Data & Databases

Databases that are not table-and-row relational.

A loose family including document, key-value and graph stores. Flexible shape and easier extreme scale, at the cost that nothing prevents two records disagreeing about structure. The schema does not disappear; it moves into your code.

SQL

Data & Databases

The language for asking relational databases questions.

The query language of relational databases. Also used loosely to mean the relational family itself (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite) as opposed to NoSQL.
