>> You have no clue what SQL or ACIDity is.

"NOSQL" doesn't mean "no ACID". There are plenty of NOSQL DBs that are ACID compliant. And SQL is not the only way to write your queries. There are a lot more QLs.

Even though what you say it's true, my comment is still correct and relevant to the OP.

Also, of the NoSQL DBs that support ACID, I wouldn't touch them for any serious work or primary data at least. None of them are battle-tested in the same way Postgres is for example.

And again, people who really need these type of DBs fall into the 1%, and I'm being very generous.
