eli5 What is a non relational database ?
In: 11
I like to think. Non relational simply as a filing cabinet. All these records go in this drawer, these different records go in this drawer. It doesn’t matter that the drawer is next a drawer holding unrelated files as long as each drawer only contains files of its type. We would still know where to go look for each file.
Versus a relational which would be like this filing cabinet has several drawers and each drawer contains a reference to the other drawers that might make this file more interesting if needed.
