DATABASE TYPES EXPLAINED SIMPLY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This article discusses multiple types of databases, such as relational (SQL), NoSQL, NewSQL, and vector databases. It explains the key features, use cases, and downsides of each type. Relational databases store structured data, ensuring data integrity but can be complex and expensive. NoSQL databases handle unstructured data and offer flexibility but may lack data consistency. NewSQL databases combine scalability and ACID compliance for high-transaction systems. Vector databases are specialized for usage in machine learning.
