Abstract
Although relational databases are still the most popular type of database management system, recent years have seen the emergence of several “alternative” databases, the so-called NoSQL database systems. These database systems are not based on relational data model, so the query language SQL mostly is not used with such systems. NoSQL databases emerged from new needs for greater flexibility and better performance in storage and processing of large quantities of data, mostly because of popularity
of the Internet and related technologies and ever larger quantities of data. This paper analyses four basic types of NoSQL database systems: Key/value, graph, document, and columnar. Also, specific characteristics of each of these systems are analyzed and some applications of the systems are described. Conclusion gives a brief description of some drawbacks of such systems in general along with the review of the future development of the NoSQL technology.
