Databases

The Web is a repository for a vast amount of data. It also is the channel through which these stored data can be retrieved, exchanged or uploaded. Just like physical items are easy to find and retrieve, so is the case with data. Data needs to be organized properly for storage and ease of retrieval. This organization is done in databases.

Database Management Services

Benefits of Databases:

Databases allow you to:

  1. Store and manage data efficiently.
  2. Analyze the data.
  3. Transform data into useful information.
  4. Link different data to provide a new perspective.
  5. Improve productivity and increase scalability.

Types of Databases

Databases can be classified according to different parameters. Depending on location, they are classified into:

  1. Relational Databases: These are the most popular kind of databases, where data is stored in pre-defined rows and columns. One row stores one instance of the data, while a column gives the values associated with that instance. The data is managed using a Structured Query Language or SQL.
  2. NoSQL Databases: These databases store data in other forms than tables. They are very useful in working with large volumes of data. They are especially useful to manage unstructured data or data distributed at various locations. Column databases, graph databases, key-value databases are the popular types of NoSQL databases.
  3. Object-Oriented Databases: These databases store data as objects rather than tables. Instead, the data and their relationships are managed by 'pointers'. An Object Query Language or OQL is used to manage the database.
