    SQL and NoSQL are two different types of database management systems that cater to different needs. SQL databases operate on a relational model and use structured query language (SQL) to manage and manipulate data, making them ideal for handling structured and consistent data. Meanwhile, NoSQL databases are specifically designed for managing unstructured data using a flexible data model, which makes them perfect for modern web and mobile applications that handle large volumes of data.
