• A database that does not use a tabular model like a relational database, and that is instead optimized for the specific data it is storing. Popular types of non-relational databases are key–value stores, column stores, graph stores, and document stores. Examples for non-relational databases, which are also known as NoSQL databases, include Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, and Couchbase.
