When I’m presenting at events, I often get questions around data modeling. Â It is common to interact with developers that work with relational databases, but are very interested in a NoSQL database. Â I, for example, started my database career with an Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server database. Â Having become familiar with structured RDBMS data the concept of NoSQL was very strange. Â What does your data look like? Â How do you query it?
In this video I put together, I give a quick overview on some ways to model data in Couchbase. Â I list a simple RDBMS example and convert it to JSON document format. Â In the end I query it and it is like there was no switch between databases.
Although the above video doesn’t go into everything, it should be enough to put you on a solid path. Â If something still doesn’t make sense, I encourage you to put a question in the comments section.
For information on using these NoSQL documents in your application, check out the developer portal for examples.
