Business systems supporting applications that require working with large amounts of data find themselves in a situation where they have to make decisions about how to store and work with data more efficiently. One of the most important decisions is determining the best platform which will be used for store and work with data within the application. In the past, most business systems have opted to use SQL databases because of their ability to protect data and ensure its integrity. The rapid growth of Internet use and cloud technologies have led many business systems turn to great extent to NoSQL databases because they can better handle large amounts of unstructured and semi-structured data. Both types of databases have their advantages and disadvantages, but differ by how they are created, how data is retrieved and stored, and how applications access it. By understanding these differences, a business organization can make a more effective decision about which type of database will best suit their business. This paper will consider the key differences between these types of databases, as well as their importance in the development of business applications.
