Answers


What is NOSQL? - answer✔NoSQL is a class of database management system identified by its
non-adherence to the widely used relational database management system (RDBMS) model
with its structured query language (SQL).

NOSQL has become prominent with the advent of web scale data and systems created by
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and others to manage data for which SQL was not the best
fit.

Why NoSQL databases? - answer✔-The (exponential growth) of the volume of data generated
by users and systems
-The (increasing interdependency) and complexity of data, accelerated by the Internet, Web
2.0, social networks

does not require a relational model for the data structure

-Distributed, fault-tolerant architecture
Data are partitioned and held on large number of servers, and is replicated among these
machines: horizontal scaling
