Abstract
There is a new trend towards polyglot persistence:
the use of a variety of different data storage,
including relational databases and NoSQL datastores
, for different applications. This paper
summarises the main categories of NoSQL datastores
and describes examples used in teaching
NoSQL in a practical context focused on the .NET pl
atform. Specific datastore systems were
chosen on the basis of availability of libraries to
support .NET integration and of suitable tools for
visualisation of the data. RavenDB was used as an
example of a document store, while Neo4j was
used as an example of a graph database.
