Choosing between SQL and NoSQL databases can be daunting. SQL excels in data consistency and complex querying, while NoSQL offers scalability and flexibility. Common misconceptions include inflexibility of SQL databases and the lack of transactional support in NoSQL.

When to use SQL vs NoSQL

I found really nice that you highlighted the misconceptions.
