MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance, open source, schema-free, document-oriented database. - mongodb.org Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy “One size ﬁts all” approach no longer applies Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy Non-relational DBs scale more easily, especially horizontally Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy Focus on speed, performance, ﬂexibility and scalability Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy Not concerned with transactional stuff and relational semantics Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy DBs should be an on-demand commodity, in a cloud- like fashion Monday, February 22, 2010

Philosophy Mongo tries to achieve the performance of traditional key-value stores while maintaining functionality of traditional RDBMS Monday, February 22, 2010

Features: Binary Object Store Efﬁcient binary large object store via GridFS i.e. store images, videos, anything Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Document-oriented Think of “documents” as database records Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Document-oriented Think of “documents” as database records Documents are basically just JSON objects that Mongo stores in binary Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Document-oriented Think of “collections” as database tables Monday, February 22, 2010

Concept Mapping RDBMS (mysql, postgres) MongoDB Tables Collections Monday, February 22, 2010

Concept Mapping RDBMS (mysql, postgres) MongoDB Tables Collections Records/rows Documents/objects Monday, February 22, 2010

Concept Mapping RDBMS (mysql, postgres) MongoDB Tables Collections Records/rows Documents/objects Queries return record(s) Queries return a cursor Monday, February 22, 2010

Concept Mapping RDBMS (mysql, postgres) MongoDB Tables Collections Records/rows Documents/objects Queries return record(s) Queries return a cursor Monday, February 22, 2010 ???

Concepts: Cursors Queries return “cursors” instead of collections Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Cursors Queries return “cursors” instead of collections A cursor allows you to iterate through the result set Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Cursors Queries return “cursors” instead of collections A cursor allows you to iterate through the result set A big reason for this is performance Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Cursors Queries return “cursors” instead of collections A cursor allows you to iterate through the result set A big reason for this is performance Much more efﬁcient than loading all objects into memory Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Cursors The ﬁnd() function returns a cursor object Monday, February 22, 2010

Concepts: Cursors The ﬁnd() function returns a cursor object var cursor = db.logged_requests.find({ 'status_code' : 200 }) cursor.hasNext() // "true" cursor.forEach( function(item) { print(tojson(item)) } ); cursor.hasNext() // "false" Monday, February 22, 2010

Cool Features Monday, February 22, 2010
