Discussion on: Relational vs NoSQL databases

I totally agree with the statement that SQL is older and there was no improvement for a longer time.

If we look at MongoDB, they released support for multi-document transactions in 2018. So the debate of using MongoDB vs an SQL DB specifically could be a nice topic to discuss. But still, we should focus on use cases and not performance comparison.

MongoDB specifically, vs SQL (mentioned PostGRES) are discussed here.

Personally, I see MongoDB transactions as not yet in place, and lacking named SAVEPOINTs. And sometimes that matters a lot.
