Caracteristicas de MongoDB

Implementing Collections in MongoDB:


• Collections are flexible, analogous to boxes with labels, storing similar items.

• They don't enforce strict definitions like tables in relational databases.

• You can mix different items in a collection, but it's better to group similar items.

• MongoDB creates collections on demand when saving documents that reference them.

• Multiple collections in MongoDB have no significant performance impact.

Understanding Databases:
• MongoDB databases are collections of collections.

• Databases are created on demand, and applications can create databases for customers.

• Organizing databases requires thoughtful planning for efficient data management.

Reviewing the Feature List:


• MongoDB offers various features for a powerful and flexible database management system.

• Features include BSON for document-oriented storage, dynamic queries, indexing, geospatial
indexing, query profiling, in-place updates, GridFS for binary data, data replication, auto sharding, and
map/reduce functions.

Using Document-Orientated Storage (BSON):


• MongoDB uses BSON for document storage in binary format.

• BSON provides better query and indexing performance compared to JSON.

• It enables quick conversion to native data formats of programming languages.

Supporting Dynamic Queries:


• MongoDB supports dynamic queries without predefining them.

• It allows easy querying with the parts of documents to match against.

• Advanced features like map and reduce functions are available for complex queries.

Indexing Your Documents:


• MongoDB extensively supports indexing documents.

• All documents are indexed on the _id key for uniqueness.

• Additional indexes can be created on other keys, embedded documents, and composite keys.

Leveraging Geospatial Indexes:


• MongoDB offers specialized geospatial indexing for location-based data.
• It allows queries based on geographic coordinates, useful for location-based applications.

Profiling Queries:
• MongoDB provides a query profiler to identify performance bottlenecks.

• Helps optimize queries by adding appropriate indexes or improvements.

Updating Information In-Place:


• MongoDB updates data in-place, improving performance with lazy writes.

• It does not guarantee data safety compared to traditional RDBMS databases.

Storing Binary Data:


• GridFS in MongoDB stores binary data, breaking it into chunks.

• Efficiently handles large files and allows easy retrieval.

Replicating Data:
• MongoDB uses master-slave replication for data safety.

• One active master database replicates data to a slave database.

Implementing Auto Sharding:


• Auto sharding enables scalable deployments by automatically splitting and recombining data.

• It simplifies management and improves scalability for large-scale databases.

Using Map and Reduce Functions:


• MongoDB supports map and reduce functions for advanced data analysis.

• Written in JavaScript, they run on the server, providing a flexible way to query and process data.
