Difference between RDBMS and MongoDB

MongoDB is an open-source document-oriented database used for high volume data storage. It falls under the classification of a NoSQL database. NoSQL tool means that it doesn’t utilize the usual rows and columns. MongoDB uses BSON (document storage format) which is a binary style of JSON documents. 

Features of MongoDB:

• Multiple Servers: It can run over multiple servers.
• Schema-less Database: It is a schema-less database.
• Indexing: Any field in the document can be indexed.
• Rich Object Model: It supports a rich object model.
• High scalability
• Distributed database

What is RDBMS?

It stands for Relational Database Management System. It stores data in the form of related tables.
Features of RDBMS:

• Gives a high level of information security.
• It is quick and precise.
• Provides facility primary key, to exceptionally distinguish the rows.
• Schema-fix Database
• Not scalable
