Databases have been in use since the earliest days of electronic computing. Here is the history and where we are at currently:
1960s Navigational DBMS
1970s Relational DBMS & end of 1970s SQL DBMS
1980s Object Oriented Databases
1990s Performance enhancement through replication in an object-oriented DBMS.
2000s NoSQL databases are non-relational (Next Generation databases)
Typical modern relational databases have shown poor performance on data-intensive applications including indexing a large number of documents, serving pages on high-traffic websites and delivering streaming media.
Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontal scalable. The original intention has been modern web-scale databases, use case friendly.
