Comparisons Between MongoDB and MS-SQL Databases on the TWC Website

Abstract

Owing to the huge amount of data in websites to be analysed, web innovative services are required to support them with high scalability and availability. The main reason of using NoSQL databases is for considering the huge amount of data and expressing large-scale distributed computations using Map-Reduce techniques. To enhance the service quality of customers and solve the problems of the huge amount of data existing in the websites such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter, the relational database technology was gradually replaced with the NoSQL database to improve the performance and expansion elasticity in recent years. In this paper, we compare both NoSQL MongoDB and MS-SQL databases, and discuss the effectiveness of the inquiry. In addition, relational database cluster systems often require larger server efficiency and capacity to be competent, but it incurs cost problems. On the other hand, using NoSQL database can easily expand the capacity without any extra costs. Through the experiments, it shows that NoSQL MongoDB is about ten times efficient for reading and writing than MS-SQL database. This verifies that the NoSQL database technology is quite a feasible option to be used in the future.
