4 Modern databases Every Developer Should Know

-
Below is the complete list of NoSQL databases currently available in the market.

NoSQL Databases
NoSQL Databases

1. Sorted Order Column Oriented Stores

  1. Google's Bigtable espouses a model where data is stored in a column-oriented way. This contrasts with the row-oriented format in RDBMS.
  2. The column-oriented storage allows data to be stored effectively. It avoids consuming space when storing nulls by simply not storing a column when a value doesn't exist for that column.
  3. Each unit of data can be thought of as a set of key/value pairs, where the unit itself is identified with the help of a primary identifier, often referred to as the primary key. Bigtable and its clones tend to call this primary key to the row-key.
Example:
The name column-family bucket stores the following values:
 For row-key: 1
 first_name: John
 last_name: Doe
 For row-key: 2
 first_name: Jane
The location column-family stores the following:
For row-key: 1
zip_code: 10001
For row-key: 2
zip_code: 94303
The profile column-family has values only for the data point with row-key 1 so it stores only the following:
 For row-key: 1
 gender: male
Databases under this category:
  • Hyper Table
  • Cloudera
  • Hbase

2. Key/Value Pair Stores

  1. HashMap or an associative array is the simplest data structure that can hold a set of key/value pairs. Such data structures are extremely popular because they provide a very efficient, big O(1) average algorithm running time for accessing data.
  2. The key of a key/value pair is a unique value in the set and can be easily looked up to access the data.
  3. Key/value pairs are of varied types: some keep the data in memory and some provide the capability to persist the data to disk. Key/value pairs can be distributed and held in a cluster of nodes.
  4. Oracle's Berkeley DB. Berkeley DB is a pure storage engine where both key and value are an array of bytes. The core storage engine of Berkeley DB doesn't attach meaning to the key or the value. It takes byte array pairs in and returns the same back to the calling client.
  5. Berkeley DB allows data to be cached in memory and flushed to disk as it grows. There is also a notion of indexing the keys for faster lookup and access.
Databases under this category:
  • Membase
  • Kyoto Cabinet
  • Redis
  • Cassandra
  • Voldemart
  • Riak

3. Document Databases

  1. Document databases are not document management systems. More often than not, developers starting out with NoSQL confuse document databases with document and content management systems. The word document in document databases connotes loosely structured sets of key/ value pairs in documents, typically JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), and not documents or spreadsheets (though these could be stored too).
  2. Document databases treat a document as a whole and avoid splitting a document into its constituent name/value pairs. At a collection level, this allows for putting together a diverse set of documents into a single collection. Document databases allow indexing of documents on the basis of not only its primary identifier but also its properties. 
  3. A few different open-source document databases are available today but the most prominent among the available options are MongoDB and CouchDB.
Databases under this category:
  • MongoDB
  • CouchDB

4. Graph Database

Graph databases and XML data stores could also qualify as NoSQL databases.
Databases under this category:
  • Neo4j
  • FlockDB

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...

5 SQL Queries That Popularly Used in Data Analysis

-
Image
 Here are five popular SQL queries frequently used in data analysis. 1. SELECT with Aggregations Summarize data by calculating aggregates like counts, sums, averages, etc. SELECT department, COUNT(*) as employee_count, AVG(salary) as average_salary FROM employees GROUP BY department; 2. JOIN Operations  Combine data from multiple tables based on a related column. SELECT e.employee_id, e.name, d.department_name FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id; 3. WHERE Clause for Filtering Filter records based on specified conditions. SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'   AND amount > 1000; 4. ORDER BY Clause for Sorting Sort results in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns. SELECT product_name, price FROM products ORDER BY price DESC; 5. GROUP BY with HAVING Clause Group records and apply conditions to the aggregated results. SELECT department, SUM(salary) as total_salaries FROM employ...
