MongoDB

 

Advantages of MongoDB over RDBMS

• Schemaless − MongoDB is a document database in which one collection holds different documents. The number of fields, content, and size of the document can differ from one document to another.

• The structure of a single object is clear.

• No complex joins.

• Deep query-ability. MongoDB supports dynamic queries on documents using a document-based query language that's nearly as powerful as SQL.

• Tuning.

• Ease of scale-out − MongoDB is easy to scale.

• Conversion/mapping of application objects to database objects not needed.

• Uses internal memory for storing the (windowed) working set, enabling faster access to data.

Why Use MongoDB?

• Document Oriented Storage − Data is stored in the form of JSON style documents.

• Index on any attribute

• Replication and high availability

• Auto-Sharding

• Rich queries

• Fast in-place updates
