NoSQL Databases Overview
What is a NoSQL Database?
NoSQL databases are databases designed to be used across large distrusted systems. They are notably much more scalable and much
faster at handling very large data loads than traditional relational databases. Unlike other databases, NoSQL databases do not use the
standard tabular relationships the relational databases employ. Instead, NoSQL databases allow for the querying and storage of data by
a variety of other means, depending on the specific so ware.

Advantages of NoSQL over Relational Databases?
Traditional relational databases store data in highly structured tabular form, with multiple rows and columns. While these data stores
are highly flexible, easy to maintain, and effective for data stored on a single server, they do not scale very well in a distributed system
compared to NoSQL database alternatives.
Distributed systems using inexpensive storage and processing power are becoming much more common and are o en used in
environments where there is a need for high availability and speed. NoSQL databases work significantly better across this kind of
distributed system.
The other main advantages are:
NoSQL databases are Non-Relational meaning they are table-less and easier to manage. They provide a higher level of flexibility with
newer data models.
They are o en open source and therefore lower cost. NoSQL databases can be an appealing solution for smaller organizations with
limited budgets.
NoSQL databases are optimized for specific data models that enable higher performance than trying to accomplish similar
functionality with relational databases.
NoSQL Data Models
Not all NoSQL databases use the same data model. Although the primary distinction between a relational data store and a NoSQL
database is the data model, there are several different types of NoSQL data model. Below are descriptions of three of the most popular
data models used in NoSQL databases:
Document model: These NoSQL databases replace the familiar rows and columns structure with a document storage model. Each
document is structured, frequently using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) model. The document data model is associated
with object-oriented programming where each document is an object.
Graph model: NoSQL databases using the graph model usually require all the data to reside on one machine which negates one of
the key advantages of NoSQL databases. This class of databases uses structures like data modes, edges and properties, making it
easier to model relationships between entities in an application.
Key-value model: In this NoSQL database model, a key is required to retrieve and update data. The key-value data model is very
simple and therefore scales well. However, this simplicity and scalability come at the cost of query complexity.
Pricing Information
NoSQL database costs can be a complex issue. Although the database itself can be free or much less expensive than a traditional
relational database, the cost of maintaining a NoSQL product can be higher. Part of the reason for this is that expertise in the various
types of NoSQL database is harder to find than traditional SQL expertise.

when selecting a NoSQL database?
When is a NoSQL database the best option?
NoSQL databases are most appropriate for projects or businesses that have large amounts of
data to be stored. Additionally, the minimal structure NoSQL databases provide can allow for
quick development for projects that need it. NoSQL databases may not be ideal for storing
highly-structured data.
How much do NoSQL databases cost?
The upfront costs for NoSQL databases can be very low, or even free. A er initial costs though,
maintaining a NoSQL database can be pricier depending on how it is hosted. Additionally,
NoSQL experts are less common than SQL experts, so staffing for a NoSQL system can be more
expensive.
What are the key considerations when selecting a NoSQL database?
The most important feature of a NoSQL database to consider is the data model it uses. Unlike
SQL databases, which use a relational model, NoSQL databases use a variety of different
models. The Key-Value model is the most scalable at the cost of complexity, while the document
model is optimized for use with object-oriented programming languages. Many data models
exist, so consider which one is best for your needs.
