Abstract: This article highlights the advantages of NoSQL databases compared to traditional SQL (relational) databases. It argues that the database concept is often implicitly tied to relational models, overlooking non-relational databases’ potential in Big Data, data analysis, and AI. Non-relational databases offer schema flexibility, horizontal distribution, and high read/write speeds—critical for processing very large data volumes efficiently.
