#82: MongoDB: the most popular NoSQL database
Manage episode 338030134 series 2680464
MongoDB is a NoSQL database. Precisey speaking, it’s a document-oriented database. It stores arbitrarily complex key-value objects. For example, in a single Car
object you can store as much information as you want. Not only license plate or manufacturing year. But also information about each individual part, history of repairs, insurance and all owners. No matter how much information you want to keep, you just put that in a single, easily accessible document. Contrast that to relational databases, where each relationship has to be modelled as a separate table. So the same Car
would have been spread across tens of tables. Imagine all these SQL JOINs! No wonder why MongoDB is one of the most popular databases.
