    >> What are the types of databases? >>

    1. Relational databases
    Relational databases have been around since the 1970s. The name comes from the way
    that data is stored in multiple, related tables. Within the tables, data is stored
    in rows and columns. The relational database management system (RDBMS) is the
    program that allows you to create, update, and administer a relational database.
    Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most common language for reading, creating,
    updating and deleting data. Relational databases are very reliable. They are
    compliant with ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), which is a
    standard set of properties for reliable database transactions. Relational databases
    work well with structured data. Organizations that have a lot of unstructured or
    semi-structured data should not be considering a relational database.

    Examples: Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL and IBM Db2 >>

    2. NoSQL databases >>


    NoSQL is a broad category that includes any database that doesn’t use SQL as its
    primary data access language. These types of databases are also sometimes referred
    to as non-relational databases. Unlike in relational databases, data in a NoSQL
    database doesn’t have to conform to a pre-defined schema, so these types of
    databases are great for organizations seeking to store unstructured or semi-
    structured data. One advantage of NoSQL databases is that developers can make
    changes to the database on the fly, without affecting applications that are using
    the database.

    Examples: Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, CouchDB & CouchBase

    3. Cloud databases >>


    A cloud database refers to any database that’s designed to run in the cloud. Like
    other cloud-based applications, cloud databases offer flexibility and scalability,
    along with high availability. Cloud databases are also often low-maintenance, since
    many are offered via a SaaS model.
    Examples: Microsoft Azure SQL Database, Amazon Relational Database Service, Oracle
    Autonomous Database.

    4. Columnar databases >>


    Also referred to as column data stores, columnar databases store data in columns
    rather than rows. These types of databases are often used in data warehouses
    because they’re great at handling analytical queries. When you’re querying a
    columnar database, it essentially ignores all of the data that doesn’t apply to the
    query, because you can retrieve the information from only the columns you want.

    Examples: Google BigQuery, Cassandra, HBase, MariaDB, Azure SQL Data Warehouse

    5. Wide column databases


    Wide column databases, also known as wide column stores, are schema-agnostic. Data
    is stored in column families, rather than in rows and columns. Highly scalable,
    wide column databases can handle petabytes of data, making them ideal for
    supporting real-time big data applications.

    Examples: BigTable, Apache Cassandra and Scylla

    6. Object-oriented databases

    An object-oriented database is based on object-oriented programming, so data and


    all of its attributes, are tied together as an object. Object-oriented databases
    are managed by object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS). These
    databases work well with object-oriented programming languages, such as C++ and
    Java. Like relational databases, object-oriented databases conform to ACID
    standards.

    Examples: Wakanda, ObjectStore

    7. Key-value databases

    One of the simplest types of NoSQL databases, key-value databases save data as a
    group of key-value pairs made up of two data items each. They’re also sometimes
    referred to as a key-value store. Key-value databases are highly scalable and can
    handle high volumes of traffic, making them ideal for processes such as session
    management for web applications, user sessions for massive multi-player online
    games, and online shopping carts.

    Examples: Amazon DynamoDB, Redis

    8. Hierarchical databases

    Hierarchical databases use a parent-child model to store data. If you were to draw
    a picture of a hierarchical database, it would look like a family tree, with one
    object on top branching down to multiple objects beneath it. The one-to-many format
    is rigid, so child records can’t have more than one parent record. Originally
    developed by IBM in the early 1960s, hierarchical databases are commonly used to
    support high-performance and high availability applications.

    Examples: IBM Information Management System (IMS), Windows Registry

    9. Document databases

    Document databases, also known as document stores, use JSON-like documents to model
    data instead of rows and columns. Sometimes referred to as document-oriented
    databases, document databases are designed to store and manage document-oriented
    information, also referred to as semi-structured data. Document databases are
    simple and scalable, making them useful for mobile apps that need fast iterations.
    Examples: MongoDB, Amazon DocumentDB, Apache CouchDB

    10. Graph databases

    Graph databases are a type of NoSQL database that are based on graph theory. Graph-
    Oriented Database Management Systems (DBMS) software is designed to identify and
    work with the connections between data points. Therefore graph databases are often
    used to analyze the relationships between heterogeneous data points, such as in
    fraud prevention or for mining data about customers from social media.

    Examples: Datastax Enterprise Graph, Neo4J
