NoSQL datastores are explicitly designed to handle this kind of large,  
blob-ish data.  In a sense, NoSQL was sort of designed as a "smarter"  
filesystem - i.e. data storage that allows for more complex queries in  
retrieving.

SQL was designed more on the principles of relational calculus.   
Storage of large data is sort of an afterthought add-on (and varies  
widely between the database providers).  SQL's advantage when it comes  
to complex queries across multiple tables.
