Managing Unstructured Data: NoSQL Database Essentials-is a reference book and guide for teaching and reading skills to college faculty and students. In Chapter1 the fundamentals of database and relational data base are discussed. This chapter helps students to understand data management concepts by data modelling, schema design, data storage and retrieval. This chapter includes the foundational skills that are applicable across various industries and provides a stepping stone for further specialization and career development. The chapter 2 is all about unstructured data. Varying methods for managing, analysing, and storing data are needed for varying levels of organization and complexity, which are represented by structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. This chapter provides a platform for students to understand the transition from structured to unstructured data in terms of data management and analysis and it is a pivotal aspect of modern data management. In chapter 3 concepts of NoSQL data base and the major differences with SQL & Relational data bases are highlighted. This chapter explains the adoptions of NoSQL with flexible schema, scalability, high performance and support for distributed architecture. Chapter 4 is all about NoSQL databases, or "Not Only SQL" databases which represent a diverse set of database technologies designed to address specific challenges not well served by traditional relational databases. A brief overview of the main types of NoSQL databases are discussed here. The four basic data models such as key-value pairs, document-oriented, columnar, and graph-based structures are represented in this chapter. Information on popular NoSQL database technologies is given in chapter 5. Details of technologies like Apache HBase, Apache CouchDB, Neo4j, Apache Cassandra and their comparison are also provided here. It includes the distributed architecture with fault tolerance, high availability, and disaster recovery capabilities for ensuring data integrity and business continuity. Chapter 6 discusses the overview of Mongo DB which is a document-oriented NoSQL database known for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. The features of Mongo DB including document store, MongoDB protocol, horizontal scalability, cross platform compatibility, replication and sharding are also covered here. Chapter 7 deals with Concurrency control in databases. It discusses about the methods to obtain concurrency in structured data, and then in unstructured data, challenges in concurrency control for unstructured data, commits in transaction and the different isolation levels. Chapter 8 discusses on how unstructured data are used in big data processing. It includes Query processing performance evaluation in big data systems, the types od dirty data. Data cleansing is explained in detail with the steps in cleansing, exploratory data analysis, and data visualization. Hope this book on Managing Unstructured Data: NoSQL Database Essentials will provide a handy and useful reference book for teachers and students on Unstructured Database.

Oracle is an enormous system, with myriad technologies, options, and releases. Most users--even experienced developers and database administrators--find it difficult to get a handle on the full scope of the Oracle database. And, as each new Oracle version is released, users find themselves under increasing pressure to learn about a whole range of new technologies. The latest challenge is Oracle Database 11g. This book distills an enormous amount of information about Oracle into a compact, easy-to-read volume filled with focused text, illustrations, and helpful hints. It contains chapters on: Oracle products, options, data structures, and overall architecture for Oracle Database 11g, as well as earlier releases (Oracle Database 10g, Oracle9i, and Oracle8i) Installing, running, managing, monitoring, networking, and tuning Oracle, including Enterprise Manager (EM) and Oracle's self-tuning and management capabilities; and using Oracle security, auditing, and compliance (a new chapter in this edition) Multiuser concurrency, data warehouses, distributed databases, online transaction processing (OLTP), high availability, and hardware architectures (e.g., SMP, clusters, NUMA, and grid computing) Features beyond the Oracle database: Oracle Application Express, Fusion Middleware (including Oracle Application Server), and database SOA support as a Web services provider The latest Oracle Database 11g features: query result set caching, Automatic Memory Management, the Real Application Testing, Advanced Compression, Total Recall, and Active Data Guard Option Options, changes to the OLAP Option (transparently accessed and managed as materialized views), the Flashback transaction command, transparent data encryption, the Support Workbench (and diagnosability infrastructure), and partitioning enhancements (including interval and new composite types) For new Oracle users, DBAs, developers, and managers, Oracle Essentials provides an invaluable, all-in-one introduction to the full range of Oracle features and technologies, including the just-released Oracle Database 11g features.
