Nov 9, 2010 at 0:41 comment added Ari Patrick In response to your question "Is NoSQL a valid option for web based games?" I believe the answer is yes. NoSQL databases have been used for web-based games before (such as FarmVille) and offer a lot of flexibility. The main point of contention for this question seems to be "which is better (NoSQL or SQL)?". Each system has pros and cons, but both are perfectly legitimate options. If you're looking for a detailed list of the advantages of one system over the other, you may want to pay the Programmers StackExchange a vist. :)

Nov 8, 2010 at 19:17 comment added user744 @nhnb: One nice way of restating your point is "use a relational database for relation data, and use an object/document database for object/document data". Unfortunately I don't think most people have experience with or spend a lot of time thinking about modelling, which leads to bad designs no matter which they choice.

Nov 8, 2010 at 7:18 comment added Hendrik Brummermann An issue with some noSQL databases is that they cannot do queries unpredicted at "design" time in a fast way on huge datasets like event logs: gamedev.stackexchange.com/q/4465/450 Please keep in mind that noSQL databases require the same techniques against query injection normal than normal databases do.
