Ranking of the most popular database management systems worldwide, as of September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3773\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL in ERP solutions\nhas its unique strengths and are suited to different types of data and\naccess patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog, we will delve into the key differences between SQL and NoSQL databases, their pros and cons, and how they \ufb01t into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbat.com\/services\/enterprise-application-services.htm\">ERP<\/a> landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SQL Database : Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3774\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL, which stands\nfor Structured Query Language, is used for relational databases. A SQL database is a collection of tables that store a speci\ufb01c set of structured data. Each row in these tables re\ufb02ects a data entity,\nand every column\nde\ufb01nes a speci\ufb01c\ninformation \ufb01eld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbat.com\/services\/enterprise-application-services.htm\">ERP solutions<\/a> using SQL have been used for decades and have grown in popularity, becoming one of the most common data management tools. They provide the user with an ef\ufb01cient way to store the data and an intuitive way to access or modify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a SQL database, there are internal\nconsistency checks to ensure any new data added to the\ndatabase conforms to prede\ufb01ned data types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Each book has a title, author, publication year, etc. (columns). Now, each book is unique, right? It has its own identity &#8211; that\u2019s what we call a unique\nkey in SQL databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL databases are like this library. They store data in a structured way, making\nit easy for you\nto \ufb01nd exactly what you\u2019re\nlooking for. Just like how you\u2019d look for a book by its title or author, in SQL databases, you can retrieve\ndata based on different attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the best\npart? SQL databases ensure that everyone can read their favourite book (data)\nwithout disturbing others.\nSo even if your friends\nare at the library at the same time, you all can enjoy your reading without\nany interference.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, SQL databases are like well-organised libraries for your data. They make storing, retrieving, and managing data a breeze! These properties make ERP and SQL a formidable union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3775\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of SQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Faster Query Processing<\/strong>: SQL databases are known for their speed. They can retrieve\nlarge amounts of data quickly and ef\ufb01ciently.\nOperations like insertion,\ndeletion, and manipulation of data are also done in almost no time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>No Coding Skills Required<\/strong>: With SQL, you don\u2019t need to write a lot of code to retrieve\ndata. It uses basic keywords\nsuch as SELECT, INSERT INTO, AND UPDATE, etc., making\nit a user-friendly language.<\/li><li><strong>Standardised Language<\/strong>: SQL provides a uniform platform\nworldwide to all its users due to its documentation and long establishment over the years.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Portability<\/strong>: SQL can be used in programs in PCs, servers,\nlaptops independent of any\nplatform (Operating System,\netc.). It can also be embedded with other applications as per need\/requirement\/use.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Security<\/strong>: SQL databases have built-in security\nfeatures that help protect data from\nunauthorised access, such as user authentication, encryption, and access control.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>: SQL databases can handle large volumes of data and can be scaled up or\ndown as per the requirements of the application.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of SQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Pricing of Premium Packages<\/strong>: If you\u2019re planning\nto use an enterprise-grade SQL-based\ndatabase platform, you\u2019ll\nhave to pay for the privilege<sup>2<\/sup>. There are open-source options out there as well, but they lack the functionality and\nsupport of their premium counterparts.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Concerns Over Security<\/strong>: Over the years,\nSQL databases have been used as a point of entry for hackers looking for backdoors\ninto mission-critical business systems<sup>2<\/sup>. This means you need to be eternally vigilant for attacks,\nand invest enough\nin security to minimise the risks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Steep\nInitial Learning Curve<\/strong>: While SQL may be a comparatively simple programming\nlanguage to learn, it also suffers from having a steep learning curve at \ufb01rst<sup>2<\/sup>.\nThis is partly a result\nof the super\ufb01cial complexity of query structures, and the possibility for a lot of variety in the way that certain\nactions are completed<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Use SQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Structured\nData<\/strong>: SQL databases are a great choice when you\u2019re dealing with structured data. They allow\nyou to de\ufb01ne a schema\nthat speci\ufb01es the structure of your\ndata, including the tables, columns,\nand relationships.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Data\nIntegrity<\/strong>: If maintaining data integrity is a priority for your\napplication, SQL databases are the way to go. They have built-in\nmechanisms to ensure\nthat the data stored in the database\nis valid and consistent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Complex Queries<\/strong>: SQL databases shine when it comes to executing\ncomplex queries. They provide\na powerful query language that allows you to retrieve and manipulate data in\nsophisticated ways.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Avoid SQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Unstructured Data<\/strong>: If you\u2019re dealing\nwith unstructured or semi-structured data, SQL\ndatabases might not be the best \ufb01t. They require\na prede\ufb01ned schema,\nwhich can be limiting when dealing with data that doesn\u2019t \ufb01t neatly into a table.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>:\nWhile SQL databases can handle large volumes of data, they might not be the best choice if you need to scale your application horizontally. NoSQL databases are typically better suited for horizontal scaling.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rapid\nDevelopment<\/strong>: If you\u2019re working in a fast-paced development environment\nwhere the structure of your data is likely to change frequently, SQL databases might slow you down. They require you to\nde\ufb01ne a schema upfront and make changes\nthrough migrations, which can be time-consuming.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we have an idea on what\nSQL is, let&#8217;s peek into what NoSQL has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a NoSQL Database?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3776\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL databases, also known as \u201cnot only SQL\u201d, \u201cnon-SQL\u201d, or \u201cnon-relational\u201d databases, are a type of database\nmanagement system (DBMS) that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike\ntraditional relational databases that use tables with prede\ufb01ned schemas to\nstore data, NoSQL databases use \ufb02exible data models that can adapt to changes\nin data structures and are capable of scaling horizontally to handle growing\namounts of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL databases\ncome in a variety of types based on their data model. The main types are\ndocument, key-value, wide-column, and graph. They\nprovide \ufb02exible schemas\nand scale easily with large amounts of data and high user loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL databases\nare often used in applications where there is a high volume of data that needs to be processed\nand analysed in real-time, such as social\nmedia analytics, e-commerce, and gaming. They can also be\nused for other applications, such as content management systems, document\nmanagement, and customer\nrelationship management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of NoSQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flexible Schema<\/strong>: Unlike relational\ndatabases, NoSQL databases easily store and combine any type of data, both structured and unstructured. You can also dynamically update the schema to evolve with changing requirements and without any interruption\nor downtime to your application.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Elastic Scalability<\/strong>: NoSQL databases\nscale out on low-cost, commodity hardware, allowing for almost unlimited growth. This is particularly useful\nin today\u2019s world\nwhere outward scalability is replacing upward\nscalability.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>High Performance<\/strong>: NoSQL\ndatabases are built\nfor great performance, measured in terms of both throughput and latency.\nThey are a good choice\nwhen there are large\namounts of data or ever-changing data sets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Database\nMaintenance<\/strong>: NoSQL models\nneed much less expert management as they already have auto repair\nand data distribution capabilities, fewer administration and tuning requirements as well as simpli\ufb01ed data designs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Economical<\/strong>: NoSQL models are easy and cheap to install. This means that more data can\nbe processed and stored at a very minimal cost.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of NoSQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Not Mature<\/strong>: Relational models have been around for some time now compared\nto NoSQL models and as a result, they have grown\nto be more functional and stable\nsystems over the years.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Less Support<\/strong>: Every business should be\nreassured that in case a key function\nin their database system fails, they will have unlimited competent support any\ntime. All relational model vendors\nhave gone the extra mile to provide this assurance and made\nit sure that their support\nis available 24 hours which\nis not a step yet guaranteed by<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Business\nAnalytics And Intelligence<\/strong>: Most NoSQL features\nare focused on meeting the demands of modern-day web 2.0 web applications, ignoring\nthe demands of apps made without these characteristics hence end up offering fewer analytic features\nfor normal web apps.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Use NoSQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Handling\nLarge Amounts of Data<\/strong>: NoSQL databases are a good choice when you\u2019re\ndealing with large amounts of data. They are designed\nto handle big data and provide\nfast querying and processing capabilities.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flexible\nand Rapid Development<\/strong>: NoSQL databases have \ufb02exible schemas\nthat can adapt to changes in data structures. This makes them a good choice for applications\nthat need to evolve rapidly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>: If you need to scale your\napplication horizontally to handle growing amounts of data, NoSQL\ndatabases are a great choice.\nThey are designed\nfor horizontal scalability, which allows them to handle\nmore traf\ufb01c by adding more servers in your NoSQL database.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Performance<\/strong>: If performance is a key requirement for your application, NoSQL\ndatabases might be the right choice. They are built for great performance, measured\nin terms of both throughput and latency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Avoid NoSQL Databases<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Complex Transactions<\/strong>: If your application requires\ncomplex transactions with multiple\noperations, SQL might be a better choice. NoSQL databases do not typically\nprovide the same level of transactional consistency as SQL databases.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mature Tooling and Support<\/strong>: SQL databases have been around for a long time and\nhave a mature ecosystem of tools and support. If you rely on these tools or\nneed extensive support, SQL might be a better\nchoice.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Structured\nData<\/strong>: If your application primarily deals with structured data that \ufb01ts well\ninto tables, SQL databases might be more appropriate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to know how these factors can affect an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verbat.com\/\">ERP solution<\/a>?

For instance, here\u2019s how you might store data in a NoSQL database like MongoDB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3778\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\u00a0 Scalability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general,\nSQL databases can scale vertically, meaning\nyou can increase the load on a single\nserver by increasing things like RAM, CPU, or SSD. On the other hand, NoSQL databases\nare horizontally scalable. This means that you handle more traf\ufb01c by\nsharding, or adding more servers in your NoSQL database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0 Language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL databases de\ufb01ne and manipulate data-based structured query language (SQL). For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3779\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL databases have dynamic schemas for unstructured data. The syntax varies from database to database, and you can add \ufb01elds as you go. Here\u2019s an example of querying documents in a MongoDB NoSQL database:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3780\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.\u00a0 ACID vs CAP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL databases follow ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) whereas the NoSQL database follows the Brewers CAP theorem (Consistency, Availability, and Partition tolerance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SQL vs NoSQL Database Security Comparison<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SQL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL databases have matured over the years,\nresulting in robust\nsecurity features. They provide\nmechanisms to ensure data integrity and consistency.\nSQL databases also support ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), which are\ncrucial for ensuring reliable processing of\ntransactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SQL databases\nprovide extensive access control mechanisms. You\ncan de\ufb01ne roles and grant speci\ufb01c permissions to each role. This allows\nyou to control who can access what data and what\nthey can do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, SQL\nServer provides a layered security methodology that leverages multiple security\ncapabilities targeted at different security scopes. The security features made\navailable in SQL Server 2016, and improved in subsequent releases, help counter\nsecurity threats and provide well-secured database applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an example of how you might grant permissions in a SQL database:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3781\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NoSQL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NoSQL databases\nhave fewer inbuilt\nsecurity features to allow faster\ndata access. They lack\ncon\ufb01dentiality and integrity attributes. Also, as they don\u2019t have a \ufb01xed and\nwell-de\ufb01ned schema, you can\u2019t segregate\nthe permissions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, NoSQL databases are not entirely\ndevoid of security features. They do provide mechanisms for ensuring data con\ufb01dentiality and integrity. Also, some NoSQL databases offer features like encryption at rest and in transit,\nrole-based access control,\nauditing, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, MongoDB offers advanced\nsecurity features such as authentication with integration with external\nsecurity mechanisms including LDAP, Windows\nActive Directory, Kerberos and x.509\nPKI certi\ufb01cates. It also provides user-de\ufb01ned roles which means you can\ncon\ufb01gure granular permissions for a user or application based on the privileges they need to do\ntheir job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an example of how you might handle security in a MongoDB NoSQL database:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3782\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So what\u2019s your choice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.verbat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-14.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3783\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing between\nSQL and NoSQL\nfor your ERP system is not a matter of which is better,\nbut rather which is more suited to your speci\ufb01c needs.\nBoth have their strengths and weaknesses,\nand the right choice depends on your data structure, scalability requirements,\nand the complexity of your transactions.
