Action of CAP theorem in the context of SQL and NoSQL
While relational schemas rely on ACID principles, all NoSQL stores, without exception, rely on other principles described in the CAP theorem.
What is a database?
A database is an organized structure designed to store, modify, and process interdependent information, mostly in large volumes.
Indexing structures
Indexing is the process of associating a key with the location of the corresponding data record in the database.
The evolution of NoSQL
