MongoDB is an open-source document database and a leading NoSQL database. MongoDB is written in C++. This tutorial will give you a great understanding of MongoDB concepts needed to create and deploy a highly scalable and performance-oriented database.
MongoDB is a cross-platform, document-oriented database that provides, high performance, high availability, and easy scalability. MongoDB works on the concept of collection and document.
Database
The database is a physical container for collections. Each database gets its own set of files on the file system. A single MongoDB server typically has multiple databases.
Collection
A collection is a group of MongoDB documents. It is the equivalent of an RDBMS table. A collection exists within a single database. Collections do not enforce a schema. Documents within a collection can have different fields. Typically, all documents in a collection are of similar or related purposes.
Document
A document is a set of key-value pairs. Documents have a dynamic schema. Dynamic schema means that documents in the same collection do not need to have the same set of fields or structures, and common fields in a collection's documents may hold different types of data.
The following table shows the relationship of RDBMS terminology with MongoDB.
