What is a NoSQL Database: Definition & Importance
What is a NoSQL Database?
A NoSQL database is a type of non-relational database that stores data in a non-tabular format, unlike traditional relational databases. The term "NoSQL" stands for "not only SQL," implying that these databases can handle data that does not fit neatly into a tabular format. NoSQL databases are used for storing and retrieving large volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data, such as social media posts, videos, images, and sensor data, among others.
Key Takeaways
‍
- NoSQL databases are highly scalable and flexible, which makes them ideal for handling large volumes of data in distributed computing environments.
- NoSQL databases can be designed to handle various types of data, from structured to semi-structured and unstructured data.
- NoSQL databases often sacrifice consistency for scalability and availability, which means that they can handle more significant amounts of data and traffic but may not guarantee the same level of data consistency as traditional relational databases.
