They are queried with Structured Query Language (SQL). At the time, data storage costs were high, so they reduced data duplication as much as possible. Data is stored in tabular structures with rows and columns that are tricky to refactor once in production. They can be difficult and expensive to scale.NoSQL databases do not just mean “no SQL”; they can also mean “not only SQL.” They were invented in the 2000s, after the Internet and the web had become popular, and adopted many of the learnings from that era of software. They are designed for massive scalability and high performance and to make programming easier by providing maximum flexibility and...
