Whats faster SQL or NoSQL?

Question

As for speed, NoSQL is generally faster than SQL, especially for key-value storage in our experiment; On the other hand, NoSQL database may not fully support ACID transactions, which may result data inconsistency.

Is NoSQL slower than SQL?

In general, NoSQL is not faster than SQL just as SQL is not faster than NoSQL. For those that didn't get that statement, it means that speed as a factor for SQL and NoSQL databases depends on the context.

Is NoSQL better than SQL?

SQL databases are better for multi-row transactions, while NoSQL is better for unstructured data like documents or JSON. SQL databases are also commonly used for legacy systems that were built around a relational structure.

Why NoSQL DB is faster?

NoSQL databases give up some features of the traditional databases for speed and horizontal scalability. NoSQL databases on the other hand are perceived to be cheaper, faster and safer to extend a preexisting program to do a new job than to implement something from scratch.

Which database is fastest?

Cassandra is arguably the fastest database out there when it comes to handling heavy write loads. Linear scalability. That is, you can keep adding as many nodes to a cluster as you want, and there will be a zero increase in complexity or brittleness of the cluster.
