What is NoSQL

Chapter 7
Software Engineering for Agile Application Development
A non-SQL database that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.

Abstract
Reusability is a clear principle in software development. However, systematic reuse of software elements is not common in most organizations. Application programmers rarely design and create software elements for possible future reuse. In many agile software development processes, the project teams believe that the development of reusable software elements can slow down the project. This can be a misconception. This chapter examines various ways to reuse software. Three approaches to developing reusable software artifacts from 15 years of experience in the agile development process are presented. The first approach is to create generic programs or configurable frameworks that support similar solutions for a variety of use cases and environments. The reuse of patterns is the second approach presented. Another effective way is to use a model-driven approach with model patterns. These approaches help to speed deployment software. The final product is flexible and can easily be adapted to changes. This is one of the main goals of an agile approach.

Distributed Streaming Big Data Analytics for Internet of Things (IoT)
A NoSQL (originally referring to “non SQL”, “non-relational” or “not only SQL”) database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data which is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. The data structures used by NoSQL databases (e.g. Key-Value, Wide Column, Graph or Document) are different from those used by default in relational databases making some operations faster in NoSQL.

The Importance of Implementing Big Data Analytics Concepts in Companies
Is a database whose abbreviation is Not Only SQL. Its basic feature is that it is not a relational database, since there are no classical relationships between tables in this concept of the Database. One of the reasons why NoSQL databases were introduced is because relational databases take up a lot of memory resources. Also, the data structure in NoSQL databases is more flexible than in relational databases.

Big Data Computing and the Reference Architecture
Database is also called as Not Only SQL. NoSQL is the name given to a broad set of Databases whose only common thread is that they don't require SQL to process data, although some support both SQL and non-SQL forms of data processing.

First of All, Understand Data Analytics Context and Changes
Is an approach to database design that can accommodate a wide variety of data models, including key-value, document, columnar and graph formats. NoSQL, which stands for “not only SQL,” is an alternative to traditional relational databases in which data is placed in tables and data schema is carefully designed before the database is built. NoSQL databases are especially useful for working with large sets of distributed data.
