Summary
At the end of this chapter, we can now be sure about how we can use MySQL as a NoSQL database with our application that is built on different programming languages. At the start of this chapter, we discussed about the NoSQL database and its major advantages to use for use in our applications. Later, we have seen the differences between SQL and NoSQL and then we started looking into the different APIs with basic examples. We have understood the Memcached API with basic examples in different programming languages such as Java, PHP, Python, and Perl, which provide access to MySQL as a NoSQL database. Then, we have seen different NoSQL APIs used to manage the database for a clustered environment. We have discussed the NDB API and how it can be used with different programming languages such as NodeJS, Java, and C++. These different, supporting NoSQL APIs make it convenient for the developers and enterprises to handle big data within MySQL.
In the next chapter, we will understand how we...
