NoSQL Database
Not Only SQL Database
Definition
A type of database that stores data in flexible formats rather than fixed tables, often used for large or fast-changing data.
Why it matters
NoSQL databases can scale and handle messy or varied data well, which suits certain modern apps.
Example
A social app stores user posts in a NoSQL database that flexibly handles different content types.
