In this week, we will cover the following topics:
Definitions of the NoSQL ‘approach’ to databases.
Alternative database forms, not just relational.
ACIDity and NoSQL.
A closer look into an industrial-strength NoSQL database: Neo4j.
… and will result in the following learning outcomes
Appreciation of what NoSQL means.
An understanding that not all data suit a relational solution.
Appreciation that while many alternative databases exist, they can be classified into a relatively small number, based on the underlying data structure.
Understanding of how graph data can be stored and queried in a graph database, using neo4j as an example technology. |
