To SQL (relational) or not to SQL (NoSQL) that is the question

I thought it was generally accepted that NOSQL actually meant "not only SQL" as in use the tool that is best for the task and not the whole problem.

Well some people objected to the initial way NOSQL was described/marketed and others decided to ease the objections.

At the end of the day, I think it's far more important that people understand what problems NOSQL was built and is designed to solve and use it accordingly.

I plan to bookmark that URL for future reference, though I already have a pretty good idea where to use which.
