A relational database without relations is an oxymoron. As folks pointed out, you also have to throw ACID away. So what's left of the original database, SQL-dialect? I bet that gets limited too.
Look, I get it, you have to sell your product. Some folks want semi-infinitely scalable storage, and they don't understand that the only way to achieve it is turning their DB into a key-value store. As a side effect they would have to rewrite their whole application from scratch, but they would only realize it after they get vendor locked in.
You can advertise your solution as MySQL-compatible. And I can claim that it's dishonest.
