| RDMS | NoSQL |
|---|---|
| RDBMS is completely structured way of storing data. | NoSQL is unstructured way of storing the data. |
| The amount of data stored mainly depends on the Physical memory of the system | In the NoSQL you don't have any such limits as you can scale the system horizontally. |
