• Some statistics

• Summary

What is NoSQL?

SQLCommercial example: Oracle | OS example: (Oracle) MySQL

NoSQL“Mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.”

“Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontally scalable.”

NoSQL systems are also sometimes called "Not only SQL".

SQL? ACID? Relations? Distributed?

Commercial example: DynamoDB | OS example: MongoDB

NewSQLModern relational database management systems that seek to provide the samescalable performance of NoSQL systems for online transaction processing (OLTP) read-write workloads while still maintaining the ACID guarantees of a traditional database system.

OS example: VoltDB

More Database classifications

On premises vs. Cloud “As a service” (Azure DocumentDB)

Memory / Disk vs. Only in memory (OrigoDB, Redis, SQL Server)

OLTP vs. OLAP

Databases vs. Not a database but a data store (Zookeeper, Kafka)

CAP classifications

And more…

In action…

Key-value stores (Redis)

Document stores (RavenDB …ok, MongoDB)

Wide column stores (Cassandra)

Graph DBMS (Neo4j)

Search engines (Elastic Search)

Time Series DBMS (InfluxDB)

Event Stores (Event Store)

MultiModel (OrientDB)

Relational DBMS (MS SQL Server 2016)

Use cases…

Show latest itemsCount itemsLeaderboardsUnique itemsPub/SubQueuesCacheAs the main database

Key Value

Some C# code

Use cases…

Log dataProduct catalogMetadata / asset managementCMSPrototypingAs the main database

Document Store

Some Javascript (Meteor) code…

Use cases…

Time series analyticsHuge # writesAs the main database(for big data storage!)

Wide Column

Some CQL + C# code…

CQL vs. Internal structure (Cassandra CLI)

CQRS

CQRS…

WITH an ORM WITH Event Store

Too good to be true…?

The Beast

• SQL and NoSQL (JSON support)

• In-Memory tables

• Row level security

• Always Encrypted

• Query Store

• Polybase Hadoop / Azure blob storage

Polyglot persistence

Any decent sized enterprise will have a variety of different data storage technologies for different kinds of data

Some stats(from DB-Engines.com)

Key Takeaways

Always think about the schema

(even with schema less DBs)

Best DB? “It depends”

• Prototyping?

• Domain?

• How the data is going to be used?

Most of us don’t work with “big data” but “small or medium”
