Real databases have real features like transactions, and guaranteed writes to disk, and not retarded security. Crazy shit like a commonly-used query language and tool support.

You do know that companies like Amazon and Google rely primarily on NoSQL databases.

If they aren't "prime time" I don't know what is.

I learned today that for data analysis they still stick with SQL (and some fancy MapReduce stuff underneath)
