    NoSQL is actually not a very helpful term, because it says very little about what something is; all it describes is what it is not. The various NoSQL database systems differ wildly from each other, much more so than the different flavors of SQL databases do. Commented Mar 5, 2013 at 0:08
  • If by graphing you mean something that traverses graphs and by NoSQL you mean key-value stores, then yes, they're a good match. There are a number of things out there that already do what you appear to be writing from scratch, notably graph databases like Titan. Commented Mar 5, 2013 at 0:34

    Probably depends on how you are storing the charting data. Some opensource JS based graphing libraries love JSON for instance and certain NoSQL DBs also love JSON so depending on what you are doing they may be a perfect match. Without more info though its hard to sell NoSQL vs SQL DBs. Commented Mar 5, 2013 at 3:20
