Introduction NewSQL is a relatively new Database Management System. It is so nascent that it is still not listed as proper DBMS because the rules and regulations are still unclear. To understand NewSQL, we need to know why the need was raised for a new Database when we already had two great and successful Databases(SQL & NoSQL). SQL is the most widely used and most preferred database of all time. The ACID properties used for it makes it one of its kind and ranks it higher than the other. NoSQL is another rising database that has recently gained more limelight due to the rise in Big data technologies and the need to store enormous documents/data coming from different sources. We can read more about the difference between SQL VS NoSQL .
