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
NoSQL is a storage that does not conform to the relational database model and its characteristics, such as they do not have schemas, are not joined, and do not guarantee the ACID property.
How to design non-relational databases
Each type of NoSQL has its own peculiarities. I will focus on Key-Value as the most common non-relational database.
Types of information storages
The NoSQL Key-Value database type uses a hash table in which a unique key points to an element. They can be organized into logical groups
Principle of database operation
NoSQLs work like a file where all data is stored, they allow you to work with a huge amount of information and organize it so that users can access it anytime they need it.
Cassandra hybrid system
One of the most widely used NoSQL databases is Cassandra, developed by Facebook. The goal of Cassandra was to create a DBMS that does not have a single point
NoSQL vs. SQL
Structured Query Language (SQL) is usually mentioned in relation to NoSQL. To better understand the difference between NoSQL and SQL
Options for using NoSQL
The structure and type of NoSQL database you choose will depend on how your organization plans to use it.
Advantages of NoSQL
Each type of NoSQL database has strengths that make it better for specific use cases. However, all of them have the following benefits for developers
