NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") [1] is an approach to database design that focuses on providing a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Instead of the typical tabular structure of a relational database, NoSQL databases ...
A wide-column store (or extensible record store) is a type of NoSQL database. [1] It uses tables, rows, and columns, but unlike a relational database, the names and format of the columns can vary from row to row in the same table. A wide-column store can be interpreted as a two-dimensional key–value store. [1]
Data orientation is the representation of tabular data in a linear memory model such as in-disk or in-memory.The two most common representations are column-oriented (columnar format) and row-oriented (row format). [1] [2] The choice of data orientation is a trade-off and an architectural decision in databases, query engines, and numerical ...
ArangoDB is a transactional native multi-model database supporting two major NoSQL data models (graph and document [1]) with one query language. Written in C++ and optimized for in-memory computing. In addition ArangoDB integrated RocksDB for persistent storage. ArangoDB supports Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, NodeJS, C++ and Elixir.
A column consists of a (unique) name, a value, and a timestamp. A column of a distributed data store is a NoSQL object of the lowest level in a keyspace. It is a tuple (a key–value pair) consisting of three elements: Unique name: Used to reference the column; Value: The content of the column.
A keyspace example with a number of column families. A keyspace (or key space) in a NoSQL data store is an object that holds together all column families of a design. [1] [2] It is the outermost grouping of the data in the data store. [3] It resembles the schema concept in Relational database management systems. [4]
NoSQL databases use a variety of data models, with document, graph, and key–value models being popular. [2] A multi-model database is a database that can store, index and query data in more than one model. For some time, databases have primarily supported only one model, such as: relational database, document-oriented database, graph database ...
The standard column family is a NoSQL object that contains columns of related data. It is a tuple (pair) that consists of a key–value pair, where the key is mapped to a value that is a set of columns. In analogy with relational databases, a standard column family is as a "table", each key–value pair being a "row". [1]
