Database Types: Everything You Need to Know

This database tutorial will cover database types.

After watching this database tutorial, you will be aware that both sql and nosql databases are at the heart of every application.
Almost every action you take in any application you can imagine interacts with a database.
Whether it would be inserting, deleting, updating, or selecting data, all actions concern your databases.

Contrary to a popular belief that databases have only two - SQL database and NoSQL database - types, database management systems can be split into multiple different types aside from relational and non-relational databases.

Databases can be relational or SQL-based, non-relational, or NoSQL-based, object-oriented, operational, hierarchical, network, cloud-based or centralized.

Relational databases include MySQL and its flavors like Percona Server and MariaDB as well as SQL Server and Oracle.
PostgreSQL is an object-relational database.

NoSQL databases include MongoDB, Redis, Neo4j, Apache Cassandra, Apache HBase, Amazon DynamoDB, and others.
Object-oriented databases include Wakanda, ObjectDB, and others.

Operational databases include EnterpriseDB or EDB, Aerospike, Mark Logic, SAP, and others.

Hierarchical databases include IBM.
Network, or online, databases include Ingres, TurboIMAGE, and others, while cloud-based databases include databases like AWS as well as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform or GCP.

Last but not least, centralized databases and database management systems include all databases that are located, stored, and maintained in one centralized location.
