Abstract

The chapter gives an overview of the three main stages of database development: hierarchical and network database models, relational database model, and NoSQL databases. It gives a short overview of the pillars of relational databases: relational data model, ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) properties of a transaction, and SQL (structured query language). Also, the concepts that make the base for NoSQL database development are explained, including the CAP (Consistency, Availability, Partitioning) theorem, the BASE (Basically Available, Soft-state, Eventually consistent) approach, and the sharding phenomenon. At last, the limitations of relational databases which led to the development of NoSQL databases are discussed.
