Hi Grygoriy, looks like a great article, but I'm confused as to your intended audience. Based on the title I assumed (incorrectly I believe in hindsight) that it was for those new to databases and would therefore struggle to decide between them. Until "Assume SQL..." I was very excited by the article, but about the midpoint I was lost in industry specific acronyms and no links to any articles that would allow me to clarify your meaning.

I'm not critical of your article, because from what I've read it sounds pretty great. I'm just pointing out that as someone new to this area it was too much for me and that the title seemed to indicate a more junior level of reading. Maybe this is an opportunity to write a multipart that would be lighter and includes my demographic.

Just putting it out there.

That would be awesome. I'd even be willing to assist you because ultimately you know it; that's clear, but I could edit and ask when I don't understand making it easy faster for you to produce. Let's be honest helping you would be helping me, because I really need a version of your article that is at my level. Seriously I do. :))
