What are the differences between PIG and SQL?

Answer Posted / Abhishek Swaroop

Pig Latin and SQL are both used for data analysis but have some key differences. Pig Latin is more procedural and easier to learn for non-technical users, while SQL is declarative and more efficient for complex queries. Pig also supports handling unstructured or semi-structured data better than SQL, which requires a well-defined schema. SQL provides ACID transactions and better performance for relational data, while Pig focuses on map-reduce operations.
