database

Hi! I have huge database (kinda wordnet). And want to know if it's easier to use Cassandra instead of MySQL|PostrgreSQL

All my life I was using MySQL and PostrgreSQL and I could easily think in terms of relational algebra, but several weeks ago I learned about cassandra and that it's used in facebook and twitter.

Is it more convenient?

What DBMS are usually used nowadays to store social net's data, relationships between objects, wordnet?
