Introduction to NoSQL

NoSQL, or 'Not Only SQL', refers to a class of database systems designed for storing and retrieving data in non-tabular formats, making it ideal for large volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data. Key characteristics include non-relational data structures, high scalability, and flexible schema design, with types such as document-oriented, key-value stores, column-family stores, and graph databases. NoSQL is particularly suited for applications needing real-time analytics, high throughput, and flexibility without strict ACID compliance.

Introduction to NoSQL

Overview and Key Concepts


What is NoSQL?
• NoSQL stands for 'Not Only SQL'.
• A class of database systems that provide a
mechanism for storage and retrieval of data
modeled in means other than the tabular
relations used in relational databases.
• Ideal for handling large volumes of
unstructured or semi-structured data.
Key Characteristics of NoSQL
• - Non-relational or less structured data
• - Highly scalable and distributed
• - High performance for large datasets
• - Flexible schema design
• - Supports multiple data models
Types of NoSQL Databases
• 1. Document-oriented (e.g., MongoDB,
CouchDB)
• 2. Key-Value Stores (e.g., Redis, DynamoDB)
• 3. Column-family Stores (e.g., Cassandra,
HBase)
• 4. Graph Databases (e.g., Neo4j)
When to Use NoSQL
• - Handling large volumes of data
• - Working with unstructured/semi-structured
data
• - Real-time analytics and high throughput apps
• - Need for flexibility and scalability
• - Applications that do not require strict ACID
compliance
Conclusion
• NoSQL databases offer flexible, scalable, and
high-performance data storage solutions.
• They are well-suited for modern applications
requiring real-time data access and large-scale
data processing.
