Overview of NoSQL Syntax and Query Mechanisms

NoSQL databases use diverse query mechanisms tailored to their specific data models. Below is an

overview:

1. **Key-Value Stores**

- Data is retrieved based on keys.

- Examples: Redis, Amazon DynamoDB

- Typical Operations:

- `GET` and `SET` for retrieving and storing values.

- Increment/Decrement counters.

- Expiring keys automatically.

- Example in Redis:

SET user:1001 "John Doe"

GET user:1001

2. **Document Stores**

- Queries are based on fields and nested structures within JSON-like documents.

- Examples: MongoDB, CouchDB

- Typical Operations:

- Querying with field conditions.

- Aggregations and projections.

- Example in MongoDB:

db.users.find({ age: { $gt: 25 } })

db.users.updateOne({ name: "John" }, { $set: { age: 30 } })


3. **Column-Family Stores**

- Query by keys and columns using a lightweight query language.

- Examples: Apache Cassandra, HBase

- Typical Operations:

- CRUD operations on rows/columns.

- Range queries.

- Example in Cassandra Query Language (CQL):

SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '1001';

INSERT INTO users (id, name, age) VALUES ('1001', 'John Doe', 30);

4. **Graph Databases**

- Use graph query languages for traversing and analyzing relationships between nodes.

- Examples: Neo4j, ArangoDB

- Typical Operations:

- Querying relationships (e.g., shortest path, neighbors).

- Pattern matching.

- Example in Cypher (Neo4j):

MATCH (n:Person {name: "John"})-[:FRIEND]->(friend)

RETURN friend.name;

5. **Search-Based NoSQL**

- Full-text search queries.

- Examples: Elasticsearch, Solr

- Typical Operations:

- Text-based search queries.

- Aggregations and analytics.

- Example in Elasticsearch (DSL):


{

"query": {

"match": { "title": "NoSQL basics" }
