MongoDB is a flexible and a scalable document oriented
database that supports most of the useful features
relational databases have.

7. ●
The document concept is more flexible comparing with
the row concept we all know from relational databases.
●
The document model allows us to represent hierarchical
relationships using a single record.
{"fitstname":"dave","lastname":"levy","children":
{
{"firstname":"dan","lastname":"levy"},
{"firstname":"tal","lastname":"levy"}} }

Document Oriented

8. ●
The documents are grouped into collections. Each
collection is kind of a table. Each and every database
includes collections. Each collection include documents.
●
The documents each collection holds don't need to
follow a specific schema.

Document Oriented

9. ●
When the amount of data grows there is a need in
scaling up (getting a stronger hardware) our data store
or scaling out (partition the data across several
computers).
●
The MongoDB database allows us to split up the data
across multiple servers. MongoDB handles most of this
process automatically.

Database Scaling

10. ●
Unlike many other databases that use heavy protocols
such as HTTP/REST, the MongoDB database uses a
binary wire protocol as its primary mode of interaction with
the server.
●
MongoDB was developed in C++ in order to achieve better
performance.
●
In order to improve the performance many of the relational
databases popular capabilities were taken away.

11. ●
MongoDB administration was simplified as much as
possible.
●
The default configuration fits the common scenario. The
learning curve is very simple.
●
In most cases the developer can handle the
administration tasks on his own.

systems: Windows, MacOS, Linux and Solaris.
●
Drivers for writing code that interacts with MongoDB are
available for nearly every programming language,
including Java, PHP, JavaScript and .NET.
