Databases have become key components of the IT landscape. They are used to store a batch of information in a pre-defined structure. Current technologies make it possible to organise and structure a database such as to be able to easily handle its content and efficiently store very large volumes of information.
Databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL are relational DBs that use SQL to query their data.
Since 2009 a new trend has appeared: NoSQL, which is an alternative to SQL and the relational model and which provides a high level of scalability (expandability).
The major DBMSs today are open source solutions like MySQL and PostgreSQL.
