I think there should be a term for these new DBMSs, but the problem with NewSQL is that the thing they have in common is not SQL, but consistency and transactions.


So your saying its not ACID its more like Ecstasy?


Ecstasy might work:

Eternally Consistent State, Transactions And Scale, Yes please.


Very well done, sir.


It is ACID. It is a DBMS. It's not a Relational DBMS.


Dude its a pun :-)


We just need to name a drug "DBMS" (preferably something that makes you feel emotionally close, hence "relational DBMS") to complete the pun.
