I wanted to start working again on creating educational content for users here and even otherwise. So I will share my learnings here. Today's topic is databases.
So, what are databases?
Database is any collection of related information.
Computers are great for storing data and information.
Database Management Systems (DBMS) make it easy to create, maintain and secure databases.
DBMS allow you to perform CRUD (Create Read Update and Delete) and other administrative tasks.
There are 2 main types of databases like relational (ex. Oracle) and non relational (ex. MongoDB) databases.
Relational databases use Structured Query Language (SQL) and store data in rows and columns
Non relational databases store data in other data structures like a JSON formatted object.
