Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2000, the consistency, availability, and partition theorem, or CAP theorem, has been a guiding principle in database management. Computer scientist Eric Brewer presented the CAP theorem in a talk about distributed systems that provide web services. Two MIT professors later proved the theorem. It states that a database can be […]

Key-Value Databases Demystified
In 1966, a DEC PDP-7 computer was delivered to the Massachusetts General Hospital without any programming. The hospital had invested in a computer but had no way to run it. At this time, there was very little in the way of software options, operating systems, or database support. The hospital did, however, have access to […]

Types of Database Management Systems
A database management system (DBMS) is software designed to develop and manage the data stored in databases. A database is a collection of organized data, normally stored electronically within a computer. The database management system organizes the data and allows a person to access, manage, and alter it. It also supports and controls additional compatible […]
What Is Data Modeling? Types, Benefits, Uses
Data Modeling describes the plans and activities around diagramming data requirements for business operations across one or more systems. This blueprint defines unique data entities (such as tables, systems, concepts, and hubs) and their characteristics (such as inheritance, importance, and physical structures) along with how the data flows between entities. Organizations create or update data models anytime, depending […]
The Power of Graph Databases to Detect Fraud
Graph databases play a key role in fraud detection within intricate, complex networks, helping security teams keep pace with modern fraud techniques that are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Graph databases can identify patterns and relationships in big data, reducing the level of complexity so that detection algorithms can effectively discover fraud attempts within a network. […]
