Oracle NoSQL Database
open-in-new
<p>Oracle NoSQL Database is a <a href="/facts/NoSQL/vvynRKfd">NoSQL</a>-type <a href="/facts/Distributed_database/A6Q1s4Iy">distributed</a> <a href="/facts/Key-value_database/Yee8EIGE">key-value database</a> from <a href="/facts/Oracle_Corporation/0z14FygH">Oracle Corporation</a>. It provides transactional semantics for data manipulation, horizontal scalability, and simple administration and monitoring. </p><p>Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is a managed cloud service for applications that require low latency, flexible data models, and elastic scaling for dynamic workloads. </p><p>Developers focus on application development and data store requirements rather than managing back-end servers, storage expansion, cluster deployments, topology, software installation/patches/upgrades, backup, operating systems, and availability. NoSQL database scales to meet dynamic application workloads and throughput requirements. </p><p>Users create tables to store their application data and perform database operations. A NoSQL table is similar to a relational table with additional properties including provisioned write units, read units, and storage capacity. Users provision the throughput and storage capacity in each table based on anticipated workloads. NoSQL Database resources are allocated and scaled accordingly to meet workload requirements. Users are billed hourly based on the capacity provisioned. </p><p>NoSQL Database supports tabular model. Each row is identified by a unique key, and has a value, of arbitrary length, which is interpreted by the application. The application can manipulate (insert, delete, update, read) a single row in a transaction. The application can also perform an iterative, non-transactional scan of all the rows in the database. </p>
