Sqlite and couchdb creators announce unQL. SQL for NoSQL

It looks like a SQL syntax to access noSQL databases.

I'm not sure if that's a step forward or backward.

SQL is a fantastic set based language. Using SQL to query MongoDB would be about 7 steps forward for just about everything I do, particularly if "SQL" magically included joins.

Also would be cool if everything magically supported the 1-Bucket-Theta algorithm. :) http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/mirek/papers/2011-SIGMOD-Paralle...

I'd say forward for sure. This breaks down the barriers to entry for a lot of folks, especially in enterprise land. Definitely looking forward to how this develops.

I think it makes a lot of sense for the document databases. It would make much less sense applied to something like Redis though.

Yeah... Redis could probably use a subset of SQL, though, but I don't know if it would be practical.
