Actually, I prefer NoSQL as being akin to talking to flat files with no guarantee of success or failure. Especially if you use something that is EXACTLY that, such as Tokyo Cabinet.<div><br></div><div>In terms of actually using it, i've used CouchDB and Cassandra. Both Apache projects, both fairly reliable with effective sharding and load balancing, and enough documentation to feel comfortable.</div>

If your data has a lot of structure and _relationships_, NoSQL is...<br>
less useful.<br>
<br>
I've actually seen a project where they implemented a "relational"<br>
database on top of MongoDB... It had a feature set roughly equivalent<br>
to sqlite, and half (if that) the performance, and none of the<br>
portability.<br>
