Episode 48: Database Structures: Relational and Non-relational Explained

Certified - CompTIA Tech+ Audio Course

This episode compares relational and non-relational database structures, explaining when each is most effective. We define relational components such as tables, rows, columns, and keys, as well as non-relational formats like key/value and document databases. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for recognizing how data should be organized in different environments.

We also explore examples like using a relational database for structured financial transactions versus a non-relational database for managing large volumes of unstructured social media data. These insights will help you match the right structure to the correct use case in both exam and workplace contexts.
