Migrating database from a Relational to a non relational database
Author: Giorgi GetsadzeAnnotation:
Migrating a database from relational (SQL) to non-relational (NoSQL) involves a structured transition from a schema-focused, ACID-compliant environment to one emphasizing flexible schema designs and distributed data models. Key considerations include schema adaptation, data transformation, query refactoring, and application reengineering to align with NoSQL paradigms. This process aims to leverage NoSQL's advantages like horizontal scalability, schema flexibility, and performance optimization, while addressing challenges such as data consistency and transactional support limitations inherent to some NoSQL databases. Successful migration requires thorough planning, meticulous data validation, and adaptation of infrastructure and applications to ensure seamless integration and operation within the new database framework.
