What are the significant differences between using the NoSQL and the traditional SQL databases?
1.
SQL databases are relational and NoSQL databases are non-relational.
2.
SQL databases have a predefined schema while NoSQL databases have a dynamic schema allowing it to use unstructured data.
3.
SQL is table-based results while NoSQL are document, graph, or wide-column stores.
What are the theoretical differences?
The main difference between SQL and NoSQL is the type of data that the two can use. SQL uses structured data while NoSQL is best for nonstructured data.
What are the technical differences?
SQL uses Structured Query Language and has a fixed-defined schema while NoSQL uses
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and is more flexible.
What are the differences in database usage restrictions?
SQL is restricted to a predefined schema and time is needed to organize and understand the data before it can be used while NoSQL allows more flexibility by utilizing multiple structures to be used at once.
How are the database architectures different?
SQL is scaled vertically and increases the processing power of existing hardware while NoSQL scales better horizontally with additional servers but does have the ability to also scale vertically.
How does NoSQL operate related to system requirements, running queries and insertion time speed?
