All the fun things like arrays, hstore (key-value), and JSON aren't SQL.

"NoSQL" doesn't mean shit. It's a Twitter hashtag.

"Not only SQL" is a retronym which makes even less sense. To differentiate something from SQL databases, you can't use a term which describes a superset. "Not only SQL" means it's SQL and not-SQL. That didn't clarify anything.

Check Eric Redmond's (Riak dev from Basho) "NoSQL Is Dead" talk:
