I. Introduction
Information technology continues to revolutionize the interactions of mankind in various ways, through social media, business, education and other channels. The internet has made it possible to transmit large data across many networks. These networks have made it possible to store, access and query billion of data from large databases. Innovation has given rise to special language used to manage and access all sorts of information within various databases know as SQL. Recently a new generation of SQL known as NoSQL has been developed. NoSQL store related data in JSON-like, name-value documents and can store data without specifying a schema. One such type of NoSQL database that has been developed is the IBM Informix

Many organizations use the Informix database capability including DHL and CISCO.
III. NoSQL capability
IBM Informix provides the following NoSQL dimensions (IBM Informix Simply powerful):
Application development flexibility
• JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) documents are a fully-supported data type. IBM Informix provides a rich set of APIs for storing, manipulating and retrieving JSON documents, accessible from a wide range of programming environments.
• All of the enterprise-level capabilities of IBM Informix can be applied to the JSON document stores, including compression, replication and high availability, transactional consistency, multi-node scalability and more.
• Web developers can now access data without having to write SQL. But that 's not all – the traditional SQL model can still be applied when needed, such as mission-critical transactional workloads. The two methodologies
Hybrid automated decision making supports SQL and NoSQL
IBM Informix determines if you are dealing with a JSON Collection or a SQL tables and processes the operations appropriately. Thus IBM Informix’s ability to access JSON documents and/or SQL tables within the popular MongoDB APIs provides the foundation for a single hybrid application to span all of the enterprise data.
Enterprise level performance The IBM Informix NoSQL solution gives you ACID principles when they are needed, along with
There are a lot of system requirements and assumptions made in this paper. The query model is assumed to have simple read and write operations to data nodes that are identified uniquely by a key. This assumption is made based on the fact that most of the amazon applications does not require a relational schema and can work with simple queries.
In order to overcome these limitations, a new database model known as Not Only SQL (NoSQL) database emerged with a set of new features. The main objective of NoSQL is not to discard SQL, but to be used as an alternative database data model for new features [1] [2] [3]. NoSQL database increases the performance of relational databases by a set of new characteristics and advantages. In contrast to relational databases, NoSQL databases introduced an additional feature that provides flexible and horizontal scalability and taking advantage of new clusters. The rise of NoSQL provides cost-effective management of data in modern web applications. With its new features, NoSQL can be used with applications that have a large transaction, and require low-latency access to huge datasets, service availability while
There are many things that differentiate IBM i from other platforms, including its storage, security, and programming models. But one of the most unique aspects of the IBM i platform is its integrated DB2 database, which is used exclusively by practically all IBM i customers. You just dont find this on other platforms. But perhaps its time for IBM i to diversify its database support?
As Big Data grew and environments supporting Big Data become more robust, the data being stored by businesses evolved in complexity as well. All manner of nonstandard text (music, images, freeform text, videos) began being captured in the Big Data ecosystem. The changing needs of the data environment resulted in the creation of NoSQL databases. These databases (built on work done at Google and at Amazon) were optimized to store and retrieve data modeled using non-traditional non-tabular entities. And of course, Big Data cannot exist in a vacuum – it requires tools to process, analyze, and display the vast amounts of information in a manner comprehensible to mere humans. This has led to the rise of Big Data BI.
For example, Facebook which is the most popular social networking website recently announced their adoption of a NoSQL based graph data store for efficient storage of user data. In other words, NoSQL has already made its way into the enterprise. However, just like every other widely accepted technology, NoSQL has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is important for an enterprise to quantify the pros and cons of a particularly new database technology against the already existing solutions based on their custom requirements. For example, legacy enterprise applications may require extensive community support from their database vendors. Moreover, traditional relational database vendors such as Oracle have already established themselves for providing excellent support. On the other hand, NoSQL has been rapidly growing since the past few years and is consistently evolving in terms of big data handling, data warehousing and lesser complexity. Hence, there is a need to study the current market of data stores based on the most popular NoSQL data stores and how well they fair against the widely accepted traditional database systems. This requires a study of the commonly used NoSQL data stores.
The Relational database and the No SQL database are both appropriate database methods depending on the way they are being implemented and the purpose of the business for which they are being incorporated. However, both the database approaches have distinct wide variety of characteristics, based on which they can be compared and contrasted in the following way.
NoSQL databases are a significant departure from the relational model that has dominated the business world for the past few decades. Standing for “Not Only SQL,” these products are all some variation of a non-relational, key-value pair database, and they are becoming very popular with companies that use Big Data and prioritize speed or availability over consistency of data.
NoSQL databases are databases designed to run on clusters of computers/servers, built for the ever-increasing data storage needs for websites. Devised as a way of scaling databases horizontally which is a challenge with traditional relational databases. Scaling horizontally is the ability to add more computers/servers as nodes to a database. These “clusters” work well with write-heavy systems and allow increase storage and processing power limited only by the number of connections you can have on the network. Defined as No-Schema, No-SQL data structures mean they are not limited to the original data structure. Objects and fields etc can be implemented at
application. Specifically, this report investigates the use of relational database design versus the no-SQL model as the preferred basis of the new application.
NoSQL databases had made for unraveling the Big Data issue by utilizing a distributed system to bring out excellent performance in data storage and retrieval at very large-scale. At this scale, pieces of the system often fail and NoSQL is created to handle these failures (Chow, 2013) (Ron, Shulman-Peleg, & Bronshtein, 2015). Various companies have espouse different sorts of non-relational databases, ordinarily alluded to as
The demands on database technology have been ever expanding since its introduction in the 1960’s. Today traffic on the internet requires that millions upon millions of records be stored and queried each second. Data must be highly available and quickly retrievable. These requirements put together have given rise to new forms of database technologies collectively called “NoSQL” or “Not Only SQL”. NoSQL eschews the strict guidelines that govern the creation and function of traditional relational databases. These guidelines are put aside in order to rise to the new demands of an increasingly interconnected world. The rigorous standards and data definitions of relational databases give way in order to provide the ability to rapidly
The modern RDBMS advancements are not capable of supporting unstructured information with ideal space necessity. The plan winds up plainly mind-boggling and is henceforth troublesome for designers. The requirement for unstructured information administration is so annoying with conventional RDBMS arrangements (Big data in financial services industry: Market trends, challenges, and prospects 2013 - 2018). Moreover, RDBMS turns out to be an exorbitant answer for creating light-footed web applications with direct information investigation necessities. NoSQL is developing as a proficient possibility in this situation, which connects the issues related with RDBMS innovation. The market development can credit to creative dispatches of NoSQL arrangements, and collective endeavors by NoSQL sellers and clients. The endeavors of organizations, to enhance their market offerings, are creating the request of NoSQL, as a back-end bolster (Big data in financial services industry: Market trends, challenges, and prospects 2013 - 2018). The emergence of agile software development is creating the demand for NoSQL (Big data in financial services industry: Market trends, challenges, and prospects 2013 - 2018). They offer users much more avenues to accept data in many different forms. NoSQL is adaptable as SQL but offers many more uses that can apply to many organizations.
In classical web based implementations, the RDBMS packages are deployed for the database applications including Apache Derby, MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM Notes, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Sybase or any other. These are known as Traditional SQL Databases which are ACID Properties Compliant. NewSQL is the new generation database engine that
NoSQL Databases also referred as Not only SQL databases. These NoSQL database have these days gained much attention and reputation because of their performance and high scalability. The advantage of NoSQL database is to store efficiently unstructured data. These days use of e-commerce websites, social networking sites etc. has been increased. These usage made to create the need to store the large data. Some companies have adopted NoSQL databases, as their data is growing. Dynamo, Big table, Voldemort, Cassandra are the NoSQL databases that are used by Amazon, Google, and LinkedIn and Facebook respectively. Facing these huge data has become challenging for Relational Database Management Systems. Hence NoSQL database came into existence. Mostly Relational Database Management System satisfies ACID properties, through NoSQL database we can achieve high level of Scalability and performance. As a lot of sensitive data is stored in NoSQL databases security issues becomes growing concerns.
Currently, there are two major of database management systems which are used to deal with data, the first one called Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) which is the traditional relational databases, it deals with structured data and have been popular since decades from 1970, while the second one called Not only Structure Query Language databases (NoSQL), they have been dealing with semi-structured and unstructured data; the NoSQL term was introduced for the first time in 1998 by Carlo Strozzi and Eric Evans reintroduced the term NoSQL in early 2009, and now the NoSQL types are gaining their popularity with the development of the internet and the social media. NoSQL are intending to override the cons of RDBMS, such as fixed schemas, JOIN operations and handling the scalability problems. With the appearance of Big Data,
