NoSQL Databases Course Type LP

Course Code: CET3020 Credits 3

Prerequisite:
Course Objectives:
1. Define, compare and use the four types of NoSQL Databases (Document-oriented, KeyValue
Pairs, Column-oriented and Graph).
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the detailed architecture, define objects, load data, query
data and performance tune Column-oriented NoSQL databases.
3. Explain the detailed architecture, define objects, load data, query data and performance tune
Document-oriented NoSQL databases.
Course Outcomes (CO):
Students will be able to
CO1: Explain and compare different types of NoSQL Databases.
CO2: Compare and contrast RDBMS with different NoSQL databases.
Demonstrate the detailed architecture and performance tune of Document-oriented
CO3:
NoSQL databases.
CO4: Explain performance tune of Key-Value Pair NoSQL databases.
CO5: Apply NoSQL development tools on different types of NoSQL Databases.
