  1. 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. Choosing between SQL and NoSQL databases depends on the specific requirements of the application and the type of data being managed. These are the difference between SQL vs NoSQL.

The trend and the taste of the audience have turned the tables of focus towards South Indian movie industry, only further solidified by the Golden Globes’ win bagged by RRR’s music director MM Keeravani, as well as their Oscars’ nomination for Best Foreign Film. Sequels and prequels about 'smugglers' (Rockybhai and Pushpa) have taken over the game into what we cinematically call the "next level." Since R.
