INTRODUCTION

TO NOSQL

WHAT IS NoSQL DB ?

• A NoSQL database(Not only SQL) is a type of database management


• system that provides a mechanism for storing, retrieving and managing
• data that does not follow the traditional relational database model.

• Unlike relational database, NoSQL database are designed to handle


• unstructured, semi-structured data, providing greater flexibility
• and scalability for certain types of application.
Feature of NoSQL

 Flexible schemas : it’s faster and iterative development,schemas are flexible


 for semi-structured and unstructured data.

 Fast queries due to the data model : it’s highly optimized for specific data models
 and enable faster data access.

 Ease of use for developers : DB are accessible through various programming


 languages.

 Global Availability : it’s stores data on clouds(distributed servers) which makes


 it accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Types of NoSQL DB

1) Document-oriented database.
2)
3) Key-Value stores.

4) Column-oriented database.

5) Graph-based database.
1. Document-oriented database

 Data is stored as documents,typically in JSON


 or BSON format
 Each document is a self-contained unit that may
 contain nested structures.
 Documents are often organized in collections.
 Examples : MongoDB, CouchDB, Elasticsearch.
2. Key-Value Stores

 Basic data model with a collection of key-value


 pairs.
 Data is stored as unstructured values or blobs
 associated with a unique key.
 Simple and fast retrieval of values based on
 keys.
 Examples : redis, Amazon DynamoDB, Riak
3. Column-oriented Database

 Data is organized into columns instead of


 rows.
 Columns are grouped into column
 families, and each column family can
 have a different set of columns.
 Well-suited for read and write intensive
 workloads.
 Example : Apache Cassandra, HBase,
 Amazon simpleDB
4. Graph-based database

 Designed for handling relationship between


 data points.
 Data is represented as nodes, edges and
 properties
 Efficient for traversing and querying complex
 networks or graphs.
 Example : Neo4j, ArangoDB, Amazon Neptune
Advantages :

 Horizontal Scaling: NoSQL databases are designed to scale out by distributing data across
multiple servers, making it easier to handle large volumes of data and high-traffic
applications.

 Schema-less Design: NoSQL databases typically use a schema-less or dynamic schema


approach, allowing for more flexible data models. This is particularly useful for applications
where the data structure evolves over time

 Replication and Distribution: NoSQL databases often include built-in mechanisms for data
replication and distribution, which can enhance data availability and fault tolerance.

 Variety of Data Models: NoSQL databases are well-suited for handling unstructured or
semi-structured data, such as JSON, XML, or binary data.
Disadvantages :

 Compatibility: Integrating NoSQL databases with existing systems or data sources can
be more challenging, especially if those systems are designed around relational models.

 Less Mature Tools: Compared to relational databases, NoSQL databases may have less
mature tooling and fewer options for monitoring, backup, and performance tuning.

 Transactional Support: Many NoSQL databases do not fully support ACID (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transactions, which can be a drawback for applications
that require complex transaction management.

 Learning Curve: The variety of NoSQL database types and models can be overwhelming,
and each type may have its own complexities and learning curves.
