An overview of relational and NoSQL databases

The role of a database is to store data in a structured way, preserve the integrity of the data, and offer a query language that enables you to retrieve this data when an application needs it.

Nowadays, when it comes to choosing a database for your web project, you have two main choices: relational databases, with their associated SQL query language, and NoSQL databases, named in opposition to the first category.

Selecting the right technology for your project is left up to you as it greatly depends on your needs and requirements. In this section, we’ll outline the main characteristics and features of those two database families and try to give you some insights into choosing the right one for your project.
