The difference between relational and non-relational databases in programming

Abstract

Databases are integral for programming, particularly in the development of web applications. SQL (relational) and NoSQL (nonrelational) databases are two popular and powerful types of databases used for data storage. However, people often do not understand the difference between SQL and NoSQL types. This work will focus on analyzing and comparing the benefits and downsides of each of them, in order to clarify what exact type fits perfectly specific scenarios of work.
