SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL

SQL, NoSQL, and NewSQL are different types of databases
NoSQL databases can be classified into four types: Columnar Database, Key-Value Stores, Document Stores, and Graph Database

MongoDB

MongoDB is a NoSQL, open source, document-oriented database designed for scalability and developer agility
It stores data in JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (schema-free, schemaless)
MongoDB bridges the gap between key-value stores (fast and scalable) and relational databases (rich functionality)

MongoDB Goals

Horizontal scaling out
Query Routers (mongos)
Shard keys: range based sharding, cardinality, and avoiding hotspotting

Data Model

BSON format (binary JSON) for storing data
Lightweight, traversable, and efficient
Easy to map to modern object-oriented languages without a complicated ORM layer

MongoDB Model

A document is a single unit of data (like a tuple in RDBMS)
A collection is a group of similar documents
Each document in a collection must have a unique Id
Field names cannot start with the $ character or contain the . character

MongoDB Architecture

MongoDB is a distributed document database

NoSQL Data Services

Document Datastores
MongoDB Architecture
Distributed Models in MongoDB
Document Schemas and CRUD Operations
Cloud Services for MongoDB
Lab Practice – Working with MongoDB

This quiz covers NoSQL data services, including MongoDB, and types of NoSQL databases such as columnar databases and key-value stores. It's a part of the Medical Distributed Application Development course.
