NoSQL Databases: Businesses’ Solution To Handling Big Data Online

by | Jul 25, 2016 | Programming

Large-scale data is a fact of life for businesses today. While NoSQL provides several viable solutions to handling big data, they will not replace relational databases, but rather add to them. Each data model has its particular use, and businesses will benefit from choosing the type of database suited to the nature of the problem they are trying to solve, keeping in mind that they can have multiple types of databases in use in any one organization. Relational databases are familiar, and can be used for utility projects, whereas NoSQL is an immature technology–very new, so not many people know how to work with it, but it may be worth the risk for a business to use NoSQL if they are implementing something strategic that needs to handle big data or have fast access for a competitive advantage (such as with Amazon).

Server Side Installations of Content Management Systems

This blog article looks at server-side install for three different content management systems: Wordpress, Drupal, and Concrete-5. The process for each CMS was the same, starting out. Create a database (this can be set up through Cpanel with MySQL databases or through PHP MyAdmin, depending on how your Cpanel is set up, security-wise). Create a user-admin for that database. Make a note of the user and password you used to create the database, and store that somewhere–you will be using it later! Download the CMS from whatever web page hosting it (i.e. drupal.org, wordpress.org.) and uncompress the zip file.
