In our previous post titled ‘Just Say Yes to NoSQL’, we cited the CAP theorem, did a point-by-point comparison between RDBMS and NoSQL and explored in-depth, the various characteristics of NoSQL which make it the most reliable database solution available today.
In this second part of the 3-part series we will focus exclusively on the different types of NoSQL databases.

Very helpful. Thanks!
Very helpful for me too!
Good Consolidation at one page and neat read.
Thank you so much for this article,
I have a little question about Graph databases , why u don’t talk about OrientDB or Neo4j ?
I know that the goal of your artcile is just explain the difference between each model (type) of nosql database. But what u think about this two technologies ?
Thank you.
Girish,
Good article on NoSQL databases.
I have one query: What are differences between Document databases and Key-Value pair databases?
The data which is a collection of key value pairs is compressed as a document store quite similar to a key-value store, but the only difference is that the values stored (referred to as “documents”) provide some structure and encoding of the managed data
Very helpful!.
Well Distributed with nice examples and comparisons.
Thanks
Hey Girish,
It’s really very helpful article.
Thank you so much for such a great, neat and easy to understand comparison.
Thanks
Thanks,
But in example of BigTable, I think the json is not correct,
There must be a ‘address’ key between line 2 and 3
Very nice artical ?
I have a query : document database and schema less database are same type of NoSql database??
There is a difference between column-oriented and wide column store. Cassandra is not column-oriented but is a wide column store.
Great overview about NoSQL-Databases. But what do you think about key-value stores for multi-dimensional data like https://github.com/shojinishimura/Tiny-MD-HBase or https://github.com/jnidzwetzki/bboxdb ?
the information is really effective. very clear way to define NoSQL database. really good.
Excellent Article
Nice article, thanks !
Can you add a link to the previous and next articles in the series (part I and III)?
