NoSQL
A broad group of databases that use structures other than traditional linked tables
What's it for?
Provides flexible ways to store data when fixed rows and columns are not a good fit.
For example…
A product catalogue with wildly different attributes per item is stored in a NoSQL database.
An online shop uses a NoSQL database because a sofa, television and pair of shoes all need different kinds of product information stored against them
Think of it like…
Flexible notebook instead of a strict spreadsheet grid
