Contrary to popular belief, SQL and noSQL are really just two sides of the same coin.

I like the idea but would one need to manually merge the result sets like LINQ'ing over SQL and XML or use the same query for both?
It would be handy to have coSQL take an IQueryable and return an IObservable or preferably Task of IObservable. As most GUIs only need the first x number of reference items for the initial display in the sequence. ie. drop down, lists before scrolling, etc. Having the rest come when ready or having the control cancel the request if not needed would be handy. "JIT data access".

Interesting subject. But I always have a feel that query on object models cannot perform like relational models. Or is this with assumption that performance can be achieved by distributed computing frameworks like Map reduce etc..
