It is possible that ZODB unfortunately occupies the same space as SQL in 
the CAP triangle:

That is to say, ZODB applications require consistency and availability, 
so if the CAP theorem is true, then ZODB applications can not be very 
partition-tolerant.

The NoSQL databases provide availability and partition tolerance while 
foregoing absolute consistency.
