Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book introduces readers to the field of relational (SQL) and non-relational (NoSQL) databases. The main topics covered are data management, data modeling, query and manipulation languages, consistency, privacy and security, system architectures and multi-user operation. The book also provides an overview of post-relational and non-relational database systems. In addition to classic concepts, important aspects of NoSQL databases are discussed, such as map / reduce, distribution options (fragments, replication), and the CAP theorem (Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance). The book will benefit students looking for an introduction to the area of SQL and NoSQL databases, as well as practitioners, helping them better understand the strengths and weaknesses of relational and non-relational approaches and developments in connection with big data applications.
