Introduction To Databases

This presentation introduces databases, explaining their function as organized digital filing systems that store structured data. It highlights the importance of databases in modern applications, their organization into tables, and the relationships between them. Additionally, it contrasts relational databases (SQL) with non-relational databases (NoSQL) in terms of structure, query language, scalability, and use cases.

store logins and track data.
Key Concept: Tables
Organized Data Rows and Columns Logical Organization
Databases are organized into Each row is a record, like one Tables help organize data in a
tables. Tables are like customer. Each column is an logical way. This helps for sorting
spreadsheets. attribute, like name. and searching.

These links are "Customers". This information. They
relationships. shows orders and keep data
customers. consistent, which
reduces
redundancy.
Relational Databases
(SQL)
1 Most Common
The most common type of database. They use tables
with relationships.

2 SQL Language
Uses SQL to access and manage data. SQL is a
standard query language.

3 Reliable
Great for structured data and complex queries. Known
for their reliability.
Non-Relational
Databases (NoSQL)
Not Only SQL
"NoSQL" means "not only SQL". More flexible than
relational databases.

Different Ways
There are different ways to store data. NoSQL
databases use different methods.

High Scalability
Often used for high scalability. Good for handling
unstructured data quickly.
Relational vs. Non-Relational
Feature Relational (SQL) Non-Relational (NoSQL)

Data Structure Tables, rows, columns Documents, key-value pairs, graphs

Query Language SQL Varies (often JSON-based)

Scalability Vertical (scale up) Horizontal (scale out)

Consistency Strong (ACID) Eventual (BASE)

Use Cases Structured data, transactions Unstructured data, high traffic
