What is NoSQL?

NoSQL databases (Not Only SQL) provide a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. They are used when the volume, velocity, or variety of data makes using a relational database impractical. NoSQL databases are often preferred for big data and real-time web applications.
