Introduction •

The volumes of data are ever increasing. With a lot of data generated each minute on social media and networking sites and through extensive analyses and studies, the internet is overloaded.

•

This rising volume of data has presented a novel challenge to us- that of its management, storage, and handling.

•

Open-source databases have evolved to be sought-after database management systems today, with strong features in place that result in efficient data management and quick retrieval capabilities.

•

Today, we see an overview of the best Open-source database management software that are currently leading with their popularity and widespread appeal.

MongoDB •

MongoDB is the most popular open-source database management system.

•

The software platform arrived in the mid-2000s under the class of NoSQL database management systems.

The open-source software did away with the method of storing data in rows and columns in a database system and stored data in JSON like structures that had dynamics schema, and termed the structure BSON later.

•

MongoDB is written in C++ and boasts of scores of features likestoring records in the form of documents and storing data corresponding to data types used in most programming languages, support for polymorphism through a dynamic schema, complete index support on all fields, etc.

MySQL •

While MongoDB is the most trending choice, MySQL is the one that has been around for the longest- about 30 years, and has evolved a lot since its inception.

•

Scores of GUI and command-line tools are used now to access and manage MySQL through command-line or GUI tools.

•

MySQL is a popular choice for the PHP programming languages developers who work to build web applications using Relational Database Management Systems.

•

The database management software is available in two different editions- the open source MySQL community edition and an enterprise edition.

•

The enterprise edition gets better support and more frequent updates.

PostgreSQL •

PostgreSQL powers magnificent organizations like Fujitsu, Cisco, and ADP.

Cassandra •

This database management system was initially java web development company by the engineers at Facebook to power the search functionality of the social media giant.

•

Later, the software was made open-source.

•

Cassandra is a distributed database management system that handles the data that is spread across a large number of devices in a cluster formation.

•

Cassandra considers scalability and performance to be of high importance.

•

Cassandra powers the leading web infrastructure companies like Twitter, Apple, and Netflix.

•

Some of the standout features of the platform include decentralization of data, replication of multiple data centres, and a Cassandra Query Language (CQL), an alternative to SQL that resembles the latter.

CounchDB •

Like MongoDB, CouchDB also uses the same file notation format in its database management features- the JSON format. Some large corporations that rely on the database system are- BBC, Canonical, and Sophos.
