What is NoSQL not good for?
NoSQL also lacks in the ability to perform dynamic operations. It can’t guarantee ACID properties. In such cases like financial transactions, etc., you may go with SQL databases. You should also avoid NoSQL if your application needs run-time flexibility.
What are disadvantages of NoSQL?
Disadvantages of NoSQL databases
- Not all NoSQL databases contemplate the atomicity of instructions and the integrity of the data.
- Compatibility issues with SQL instructions.
- Lack of standardizing.
- Cross-platform support.
- They usually have not-really-useful management tools or console access.
Why are NoSQL databases usually thought of as a better alternative for big data applications compared to traditional relational databases?
One of the key differentiator is that NoSQL supported by column oriented databases where RDBMS is row oriented database. NoSQL seems to work better on both unstructured and unrelated data. NoSQL databases give up some features of the traditional databases for speed and horizontal scalability.
Why should I choose NoSQL over SQL?
SQL databases are efficient at processing queries and joining data across tables, making it easier to perform complex queries against structured data, including ad hoc requests. NoSQL databases lack consistency across products and typically require more work to query data, particular as query complexity increases.
Why should I choose NoSQL?
NoSQL databases offer many benefits over relational databases. NoSQL databases have flexible data models, scale horizontally, have incredibly fast queries, and are easy for developers to work with. NoSQL databases typically have very flexible schemas.
Why might you choose to use a NoSQL database?
The primary reason to choose a NoSQL database is easy scalability. Well, relational databases can also be scaled but not easily and at a lower cost. Relational databases are built on the concept of traditional master-slave architecture.
