Session: Part 1 of 2
Before We Start



This is just a Knowledge Sharing session
Everyone is allowed to ask / raise questions if you have any queries / concerns / doubts.
I will try to answer as much as I can.




Important
Its most important to Learn More About
1. History How its been implemented / evolved?
2. Popularity How popular it is at the moment in its domain (NoSQL Market)?
3. Future Aspects How far it can go?

Mongo DB : Why is it very important to Learn?
Because, its popular and has a great market value in Document oriented Databases.
Proven trek record for High Traffic Performance
Large set of Advanced Features Replication, Sharding, Indexing, Map-Reduce, Ad-hoc queries
Flexible document structure, Schema less, very high IO performance
Trusted by large companies like eBay, Forbes, The NewYork Times, forsquare
Increasing user base ( In turn good community support, easy to use and get help / support )
Increasing trend and popularity, and it will be in huge demand over 5 years of span and it will provide
more opportunities for projects to come. ( We will see trend analysis on later slides )
With time progress, it is going to be in huge demand same as other next gen cutting edge technology
along with Angular JS, Node JS, HTML 5, Sass, Compass etc.
So Just basic understanding of this database is necessary, when project comes we just need to start
working on it instead of start working at that time.

Mongo DB : Licensing & Support
Mongo DB : About

MongoDB (from "humongous") is a cross-platform document-oriented database system.
Classified as a NoSQL (Not Only SQL) database.
Has JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas known as BSON (Binary JSON)
Major Companies Using MongoDB: eBay, Foursquare, SourceForge, NewYorkTimes, SAP, Forbes, The
Guardian, Codecademy, Craigslist, MetLife


Mongo DB : Main Features - Advanced
Ad hoc queries
Indexing
Replication
Load balancing
File storage
Aggregation ( Map-reduce )
Server-side JavaScript Execution
Capped collections
What is Document?
Document is same as single record in MySQL
What is collection?
Collection is same as Table in MySQL
Insert Document in Collection

Same as Insert Record in Table in MySQL









Find Query in MongoDB
Mongo DB: Criticisms / Limitations
1. Limited Support of UTF-8 encoding
Very limited support for sorting on UTF-8 encoded string data
Which is a substantial problem when storing non-English text.
Specifically, MongoDB currently uses the memcmp function when sorting strings, which doesn't correctly handle
UTF-8 data under different locales.
2. Read Write Concern
MongoDB uses a readers-writer lock that allows concurrent read access to a database but exclusive write access
to a single write operation.
So at a particular time only one thread can have access to Write into Db while other threads have read access to
DB.
Mongo DB : Language Support


Official drivers for a variety of popular programming languages and development environments
C, C#, Go, PHP, Java, Node.js, Python, Ruby and many more.
A complete list of supported drivers for Mongo DB is available at
http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/drivers/
