I can write you a NoSQL frontend for MySQL.. NoSQL is just that, talking to a database without sql syntax.

if( db.blog.posts.findOne() )

NoSQL actually has a lot of good use in Map/Reduce workloads.

If your data has a lot of structure and _relationships_, NoSQL is...

I've actually seen a project where they implemented a "relational"

to sqlite, and half (if that) the performance, and none of the
portability.
