What is noSQL?
@s-ram_prakash NoSQL (Not Only SQL) is a type of database management system that is designed to handle and store unstructured or semi-structured data.
NoSQL databases store data in documents rather than relational tables. Accordingly, we classify them as “not only SQL” and subdivide them by a variety of flexible data models. Types of NoSQL databases include pure document databases, key-value stores, wide-column databases, and graph databases.
NoSQL is a term that refers to a family of databases that do not use the traditional SQL (Structured Query Language) relational database management system (RDBMS) model. Instead of using tables, columns, and rows like SQL databases, NoSQL databases use non-relational data models, such as key-value, document-oriented, column-family, and graph databases.
NoSQL databases are designed to be highly scalable, flexible, and capable of handling large amounts of unstructured or semi-structured data.
NoSQL databases are purpose built for specific data models and have flexible schemas for building modern applications. NoSQL databases are widely recognized for their ease of development, functionality, and performance at scale.
