How does SQL compare to NoSQL for startup database solutions?

The question is about SQL

Answer:

Both SQL and NoSQL have advantages over startup database solutions. Relational SQL databases work just fine for structured data and complex queries. They guarantee consistency and are reliable through their relational structure. Thus, they would fit best in those applications where the accuracy and integrity of the data are at stake. NoSQL Database is more flexible since it can handle unstructured or semi-structured data efficiently. They scale horizontally, making them very appropriate for start-ups with rapid growth or high variability in data. Generally, SQL is preferred over NoSQL and vice versa, depending on your data structure, scalability requirements, and the extent of flexibility an application may need.
