NoSQL: An Analysis [BDII-200]
Speaker(s):
Andrew J. Brust
Duration: 60 minutes
Track: Big Data Innovations and Integration
NoSQL is often mentioned in the same breath with big data and analytics. At other times, NoSQL is juxtaposed with relational database technology, in an adversarial context. So just what is NoSQL about, anyway? Are NoSQL databases better than relational ones? And is NoSQL a big data technology, or do the two just have a special relationship?
Join SQL Server author, Microsoft BI expert, and ZDNet big data blogger Andrew Brust for this down-to-earth session, which will explain what NoSQL is and discuss the four major categories of NoSQL databases. The discussion will start at a high level, and then quickly segue into demos. You’ll explore the NoSQL-big data connection through the same combination of conceptual and practical coverage. And to tie things back to the familiar, the session will end by looking at features of SQL Server, Windows Azure SQL Database, and the .NET data access stack that have NoSQL-like qualities.
