NoSQL
A Relational Database Management System

NoSQL is a fast, portable, relational database management
system without arbitrary limits, (other than memory and
processor speed) that runs under, and interacts with, the
UNIX Operating System.
It uses the Operator/Stream DBMS paradigm described in "Unix
Review", March, 1991, page 24, entitled "A 4GL Language".
There are a number of "operators" that each perform a unique
function on the data. The "stream" is suplied by the UNIX
Input/Output redirection mechanism. Therefore each operator
processes some data and then passes it along to the next
operator via the UNIX pipe function. This is very efficient as
UNIX pipes are implemented in memory. NoSQL is compliant with
the "Relational Model".
