NoSQL term has 4 categories.
- Key\value stores
- Document oriented
- Graph
- Column oriented.
From my point of view all these data modeling has same definition, What are differences?
Key\value database maintains data in structure like object in OOP. having access to data is base on unique key.
Column oriented is an approach like key\value! But in key\value, you cant access to value by query. I mean, queries are key-based.
Compare 1st & 2nd picture from 2 different categories.
Document oriented stores data in collections, something like rows. Having access to data is base on unique key. The collections store data like key\value. However, you can access data by value.
As you can see, In these 3 categories, we define a unique key for specify a unique object & some pairs of key\value for more information
Graph db is a little different.
So, what are differences in definition & in real-world?
