The Nonrelational Database
Captions available
The idea
A nonrelational database stores data without the traditional rows-and-columns method — using a storage model chosen for the type of data being stored, under the banner "not only SQL."
In practice
An app's photos, posts, and sensor streams each fit storage shaped to them.
Where people slip
A different fit, not a replacement verdict.
