when to use sql vs nosql database code example
Example 1: difference between nosql and sql
SQL | NoSQL
relational | non-relational
|
use structured query | NoSQL databases have
language and have a | dynamic schemas for
predefined schema. | unstructured data.
|
are vertically scalable | are horizontally scalable.
are table based | are document, key-value,
| graph or wide-column stores.
|
are better for multi-row| are better for unstructured
transactions | data like documents or JSON.
Example 2: nosql vs sql
A SQL Database follows a table like structure which can have an
unlimited number of rows and every data present inside the database
is properly structured with Predefined Schemas, it is basically used
to manipulate Relational Databases Management Systems.
A NoSQL Database is a Distributed Database where the data is very
unstructured with Dynamic Schema. Unlike SQL it cannot have unlimited
rows but it follows a Standard Schema Definition and can store all
sorts of data models with large distributed data in the form of
key-value pairs, graph databases, documents or wide-column stores.
Example 3: sql vs nosql
key differences |
SQL databases are usually RDBMS or DBMS
(Relational DataBase Management Systems) and are table based,
NoSQL uses unstructured data (like graphs)
