> I was getting at the fact that SQL systems don't scale as well horizontally
Google, for example, claims that BigQuery, which uses SQL, scales horizontally. Funnily enough, it is also column-based. Row-stores, like MySQL Cluster, can also scale horizontally and uses SQL.
But no matter what you are at the mercy of CAP theorem. Pick your poison.
