NoSQL

John Beresniewicz presents this lightning talk during the OTW 2018 unconference in San Francisco.

Oracle NoSQL Database uses Major and Minor key values to achieve user-controllable record co-location. Records are stored based on the hash of the major key, so all of the records with the same major key will be co-located on the same server.

Oracle NoSQL Database has been regularly featured at the conferences of the Northern California Oracle Users Group. But, at its most recent conference, the Northern California Oracle Users Group dared to play outside the Oracle sandbox with a whole day NoSQL workshop featuring three Oracle competitors: MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra.(read more)

The important thing to understand is the data does not change just because it is managed differently. If the data does not change, then the entities and the relationships contained in the data cannot change either. The entities and the relationships between them have not changed since the dawn of time. They were the same in the days of network database management systems which came before relational database management systems, they stayed the same when object-oriented database management systems came along, and they are the same now that we have NoSQL databases.(read more)

Oracle Corporation openly admits that NoSQL database management systems have the performance advantage over relational database management systems “when data access is ‘simple’ in nature and application demands exceed the volume or latency capability of traditional data management solutions.” Database professionals should therefore look seriously at NoSQL technology.(read more)

Amazon had the first word on NoSQL but the creator of relational theory, Dr. E. F. Codd, gets the last word.(read more)

The company that is most responsible for NoSQL is not Amazon but Oracle Corporation.(read more)

Oracle has a complete family of data management products that solve all use cases.(read more)
