A NoSQL orientation for SQL professionals

Joe Celko frames NoSQL through the pressures that distinguish contemporary data work: velocity, volume, and variety. Aimed at professionals familiar with relational databases, the guide examines where traditional SQL-centered models may be less suitable and introduces non-relational approaches to storing, querying, and managing information. Its examples of rapidly changing data, very large-scale storage, and data types that resist a relational fit—including genetic, semantic, and social-network data—give the discussion a practical organizing structure. The book is positioned as an overview of the tradeoffs involved in choosing between SQL and NoSQL technologies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • SQL professionals exploring non-relational databases
  • Database practitioners working with high-volume or rapidly changing data
  • Data professionals comparing storage and query models for varied data types

Book overview

Joe Celko's Complete Guide to NoSQL provides a complete overview of non-relational technologies so that you can become more nimble to meet the needs of your organization. As data continues to explode and grow more complex, SQL is becoming less useful for querying data and extracting meaning. In this new world of bigger and faster data, you will need to leverage non-relational technologies to get the most out of the information you have. Learn where, when, and why the benefits of NoSQL outweigh those of SQL with Joe Celko's Complete Guide to NoSQL.

This book covers three areas that make today's new data different from the data of the past: velocity, volume and variety. When information is changing faster than you can collect and query it, it simply cannot be treated the same as static data. Celko will help you understand velocity, to equip you with the tools to drink from a fire hose. Old storage and access models do not work for big data. Celko will help you understand volume, as well as different ways to store and access data such as petabytes and exabytes. Not all data can fit into a relational model, including genetic data, semantic data, and data generated by social networks. Celko will help you understand variety, as well as the alternative storage, query, and management frameworks needed by certain kinds of data.
