Abstract

Purpose

–

The paper aims to focus on so‐called NoSQL databases in the context of cloud computing.

Design/methodology/approach

–

Architectures and basic features of these databases are studied, particularly their horizontal scalability and concurrency model, that is mostly weaker than ACID transactions in relational SQL‐like database systems.

Findings

–

Some characteristics like a data model and querying capabilities of NoSQL databases are discussed in more detail.

Originality/value

–

The paper shows vary different data models and query possibilities in a common terminology enabling comparison and categorization of NoSQL databases.
