NotNoSQL
========

[](#notnosql)

What it is:
-----------

[](#what-it-is)

NotNoSQL is an SQL-based NoSQL key/value store. What that means is that like bigger projects like Couch or Mongo, it stores data using key/value pairs rather than following a table/row/column scheme of traditional SQL-based RDBMS's. It also means that it uses such an SQL-based RDBMS to achieve such functionality.

What it isn't:
--------------

[](#what-it-isnt)

NotNoSQL is not intended for large deployments, nor is it intended to be a replacement for dedicated NoSQL-based key/value stores. Rather, it is intended as a quick way to gain data persistency in smaller applications with some concurrency (which would render a .json file dangerous to rely on). Think of it less as a database alternative and more as a flat-file-storage alternative.

Example of usage:
