What is the difference between SQL and No-SQL databse?

Question

Accepted Answer

SQL databases are relational databases with structured data and predefined schema, while No-SQL databases are non-relational databases with flexible schema and unstructured data.

SQL databases use structured query language for defining and manipulating data, while No-SQL databases use various query languages like JSON or XML.
SQL databases have predefined schema, which means the structure of the data must be defined before inserting data, while No-SQL databases have dynamic schema for unstructured data.
SQL databases are vertically scalable, meaning you can increase the load on a single server by increasing CPU, RAM, etc., while No-SQL databases are horizontally scalable, meaning you can add more servers to your No-SQL database.
Examples of SQL databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, while examples of No-SQL databases include MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis.
