Introduction To MongoDB

The document provides an overview of MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database that uses a document-oriented structure instead of traditional table-like relational databases. It highlights key features such as document storage, indexing, scalability, replication for high availability, and aggregation capabilities. MongoDB is particularly suited for big data, unstable schemas, and distributed data environments.

MongoDB - Introduction
MongoDB, the most popular NoSQL database, is an open-source document-
oriented database.

MongoDB isn’t based on the table-like relational database structure but


provides an altogether different mechanism for storage and retrieval of
data.

A simple of storage
MongoDB is called BSON (Binary JSON (JavaScript Object
document
Notation
Structure:- popular standard for data interchange on the web))
MongoDB - Introduction

A record in MongoDB is a document, which is a data structure composed


of field and value pairs.

MongoDB documents are similar to JSON objects.

The values of fields may include other documents, arrays, and arrays of
documents.
MongoDB - Introduction MongoDB - Features

•Document Oriented: MongoDB stores the main subject in the minimal


number of documents and not by breaking it up into multiple relational
structures like RDBMS.

• For example, it stores all the information of a computer in a single


document called Computer and not in distinct relational structures like
CPU, RAM, Hard disk, etc.
Indexing: MongoDB uses it to process huge volumes of data in very
less time.
•Scalability: MongoDB scales horizontally using sharing (partitioning
data across various servers).
Data is partitioned into data chunks distributed across many physical
servers.
MongoDB - Introduction MongoDB - Features

•Replication and High Availability:


• MongoDB increases the data availability with multiple copies of data
on different servers.
• By providing redundancy, it protects the database from hardware
failures.
• If one server goes down, the data can be retrieved easily from other
active servers which also had the data stored on them.

•Aggregation:
• Aggregation operations process data records and return the
computed results.
• It is similar to the GROUPBY clause in SQL.
Where do we use MongoDB?

MongoDB is preferred over RDBMS in the following scenarios:

• Big Data: If you have huge amount of data to be stored in tables,


think of MongoDB before RDBMS databases. MongoDB has built-in
solution for partitioning and sharing your database.

• Unstable Schema: Adding a new column in RDBMS is hard whereas


MongoDB is schema-less. Adding a new field does not effect old
documents and will be very easy.

• Distributed data Since multiple copies of data are stored across


different servers, recovery of data is instant and safe even if there is a
hardware failure.
