MongoDB - Detailed Answers

1) Explain MongoDB with Its Features

MongoDB is an open-source, document-oriented NoSQL database that stores data in flexible,

JSON-like documents. It is designed for high performance, availability, and scalability.

Features:

- Document-oriented storage (BSON format)

- Schema-less (flexible schema)

- Horizontal scalability (sharding)

- High performance with indexing

- Aggregation framework

- Replication and fault tolerance

- Geospatial support

2) Explain Following Terms:

a) Speed: Rate of processing operations. MongoDB achieves speed via indexing and in-memory

computation.

b) Scalability: Ability to handle increased loads by adding resources. MongoDB uses sharding.

c) Agility: Ability to adapt to changing requirements. MongoDB's schema-less model supports agility.

3) What is Non-Relational Approach?

A non-relational approach does not use table-based models. It uses document, key-value, column,

or graph models. Suitable for big data, unstructured data, and flexible development.

4) Explain JSON-Based Document and Its Advantages

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a format used by MongoDB for storing data as documents
(BSON in storage).

Advantages:

- Human-readable

- Supports nesting and arrays

- Schema flexibility

- Easy application-level mapping

5) Difference Between Performance vs Features

Performance: Focuses on speed and efficiency.

Features: Refers to database functionality.

MongoDB balances both by offering high-speed reads/writes and powerful features like aggregation

and replication.

6) Differentiate Between MongoDB and RDBMS

MongoDB uses document-based models with flexible schemas; RDBMS uses structured tables and

fixed schemas.

7) What is MongoDB Schema?

MongoDB is schema-less, but schema design is important for performance and consistency.

Schema validation is optional but supported.

8) Explain What Do You Mean by Running Database Anywhere

MongoDB can run on-premises, cloud, containers, or serverless platforms. MongoDB Atlas allows

fully managed cloud hosting.


9) MongoDB Database Model

Hierarchical document model: Database -> Collections -> Documents. Documents are BSON

objects, supporting nesting and arrays.

10) Difference Between JSON and BSON

JSON is text-based and human-readable. BSON is binary, supports more data types, and is

optimized for speed and storage.

11) What is Capped Collection and Polymorphic Schema

Capped Collection: Fixed-size collections that overwrite oldest data, used for logging.

Polymorphic Schema: Different document structures in the same collection, enabling flexibility.
