Questions and Answers

What does NoSQL stand for in the context of databases?

  • Non-SQL Database

    Study Notes

    Database Basics

    • NoSQL stands for Not Only SQL in the context of databases.
    • OLAP stands for Online Analytical Processing in the context of IT systems.

    Transaction Characteristics

    • ACID transactions are characterized by Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability.
    • BASE transactions are characterized by Basic Availability, Soft-state, and Eventual Consistency.
    • The main difference between ACID and BASE transactions is that ACID transactions are more robust and reliable, while BASE transactions are more flexible and scalable.

    NoSQL Database Characteristics

    • According to www.nosql-database.org, the main characteristics of NoSQL databases are:
      • Schema-free
      • Horizontal scaling
      • High performance
      • Flexible data model
      • Distributive architecture
      • Support for big data and real-time web applications
    • In NoSQL databases, the 'Soft state' characteristic means that the state of the system may not be consistent at all times, and it may take some time to reach consistency.
    • 'Eventually Consistent' means that the system will eventually reach a consistent state, but it may not be immediately consistent.

    Database Systems

    • The main focus of NoSQL databases is on high performance, scalability, and handling big data.
    • The main focus of OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) systems is on fast transaction processing and data integrity.
    • The main focus of OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) systems is on data analysis and reporting.

    SQL Database Characteristics

    • In SQL databases, the physical layer abstraction is characterized by fixed schema and vertical scaling.
    • Data Manipulation Language (DML) in SQL databases performs operations such as Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD).

    Key Features

    • A key feature of NoSQL databases compared to SQL databases is their flexibility and scalability.
    • A key feature of SQL databases compared to NoSQL databases is their robustness and reliability.
