Q

Advantages of MongoDB over RDBMS?

A

Schema less− MongoDB is a document database in which one collection holds different documents. Number of fields, content and size of the document can differ from one document to another.

Structure of a single object is clear.

No complex joins.

Deep query-ability. MongoDB supports dynamic queries on documents using a document-based query language that’s nearly as powerful as SQL.

Tuning.

Ease of scale-out− MongoDB is easy to scale.

Conversion/mapping of application objects to database objects not needed.

Uses internal memory for storing the (windowed) working set, enabling faster access of data.

Q

How to do transactions/locking in MongoDB?

A

MongoDB does not use conventional locking with reduction, as it is planned to be light, high-speed and knowable in its presentation. It can be considered as parallel to the MySQL MyISAM auto entrust sculpt. With simplest business sustain, performance is enhanced, particularly in a structure with numerous servers.

Q

When and to what extent does Data get extended to Multi-slice?

A

The MongoDB scrap stands on a collection. So an album of all substances is kept in a lump or mass. Only when there is an additional time slot, there will be more than a few slice data achievement choices, but when there is more than 1 lump, data gets extended to a lot of slices and it can be extended to 64 MB.

Q

Explain the situation when an index does not fit into RAM?

A

When an index is too huge to fit into RAM, then MongoDB reads the index, which is faster than reading RAM because the indexes easily fit into RAM if the server has got RAM for indexes along with the remaining set.

66
Q

What is MongoDB?

A

MongoDB (from humongous) is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster. Released under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License, MongoDB is free and open-source software.

First developed by the software company 10gen (now MongoDB Inc.) in October 2007 as a component of a planned platform as a service product, the company shifted to an open source development model in 2009, with 10gen offering commercial support and other services. Since then, MongoDB has been adopted as backend software by a number of major websites and services, including Craigslist, eBay, Foursquare, SourceForge, Viacom, and the New York Times, among others. MongoDB is the most popular NoSQL database system.

67
Q

What is the use of MongoDB?

A

MongoDB is relational database management system (RDBMS) replacement for web applications. So when you have something which is close to RDBMS, MongoDB could be of good use. It gives you that additional partition tolerance which RDMBS doesn’t give but it has problems with availability. But if you want more scalability, MongoDB would be your choice.

It’s suitable for real-time analytics and high speed logging. It’s highly scalable as well. Craigslist uses MongoDB for archived posts.

68
Q

What do you understand by NoSQL databases? Is MongoDB a NoSQL database? Explain.

A

At the present time, the internet is loaded with big data, big users, big complexity etc. and also becoming more complex day by day. NoSQL is answer of all these problems; it is not a traditional database management system, not even a relational database management system (RDBMS). NoSQL stands for “Not Only SQL”. NoSQL is a type of database that can handle and sort all type of unstructured, messy and complicated data. It is just a new way to think about the database.Yes. MongoDB is a NoSQL database.

69
Q

What type of DBMS is MongoDB?

A

MongoDB is a document oriented DBMS

70
Q

What is the difference between MongoDB and MySQL?

A

Although MongoDB and MySQL both are free and open source databases, there is a lot of difference between them in the term of data representation, relationship, transaction, querying data, schema design and definition, performance speed, normalization and many more. To compare MySQL with MongoDB is like a comparison between Relational and Non-relational databases.

71
Q

What is the use of MongoDB?

A

MongoDB is typically used as the primary data store for operational applications with real-time requirements (i.e., low-latency, high availability). MongoDB is generally a good fit for 60%-80% of the applications you may be building today. MongoDB is easy to operate and scale in ways that are hard if not impossible with relational databases.
MongoDB excels in many use cases where relational databases aren’t a good fit, like applications with unstructured, semi-structured and polymorphic data, as well as applications with large scalability requirements or multi-data center deployments.
MongoDB may not be a good fit for some applications. For example, applications that require complex transactions (e.g., a double-entry bookkeeping system) and scan-oriented applications that access large subsets of the data most of the time may not be a good fit for MongoDB. MongoDB is not a drop-in replacement for legacy applications built around the relational data model and SQL.
Some common use cases include mobile apps, product catalogs, real-time personalization, content management and applications delivering a single view across multiple systems

72
Q

While creating Schema in MongoDB what are the points need to be taken in consideration?

A

Points need to be taken in consideration are:

Design your schema according to user requirements

Combine objects into one document if you use them together. Otherwise, separate them

 Do joins while write, and not when it is on read

For most frequent use cases optimize your schema

Do complex aggregation in the schemaThis blog will help you get a better understanding of Difference Between Cassandra and MongoDB!
