I decided to attend the MongoDB talk at FSOSS 2013 because my newly developed interest in Non SQL databases. I am currently working towards getting my MongoDB certification for Java developers from MongoDB University, and I already know about the MongoDB concepts. I wanted to find out what new information I could attain from attending the talk on MongoDB. This talk was given by Kevin Cearns. He talked about the advantages of NoSql Databases over Relational Databases and about MongoDB in particular.
While there are a number of NoSql databases out in the market currently, MongoDB is the leading Open-Source, NoSql database available. MongoDb has a flexible schema, which means that the collections are not bound in a fixed document. The collections in MongoDB are stored in documents called BSON or Binary JSON. The structure of a BSON document is same as a JSON document, which means that every collection in Mongo is enclosed in curly brackets just like a JSON document. When saying Mongo has a flexible schema it means that when a collection has, for example 4 fields, data with number of fields other than 4 can be added to the same collection. The collections are not schema bounds like relational databases.
