Seems like all the NoSQL databases eventually implement SQL, maybe we should use EventuallySQL instead NoSQL

MongoDB took about 8 years to fully implement SQL features but they forced it into their god-awful syntax. At least Elastic stuck with SQL?

MongoDB has an SQL interface these days if you need it

That is absolutely hilarious

What other prominent NoSQL databases eventually implemented SQL for queries?

Cassandra added CQL which is very similar to but not exactly SQL.

I don't think it's fair to say it's a NoSQL database. It's very much a transactional, consistent SQL database.

Microsoft's CosmosDB (their DocumentDB clone) has a SQL-like (yes) interface.

A reminder that NoSQL stands for "not only SQL"

That’s a backronym.

> NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") […] NoSQL systems are also sometimes called Not only SQL […]

In a practical sense what it really means is "non-RDBMS." Even more specifically what it means is "any of the database technologies that were created or popularized in the period following RDBMS dominance in order to circumvent the performance limitations RDBMS technologies encountered at internet scale."

SQL just, unfortunately, was treated somewhat synonymously with RDBMS.
