NoSQL Databases – e.g. MongoDB “Have a go!”


Last week, I saw again – after long time - the “Introduction to NoSQL by Martin Fowler" presentation from Feb, 2013 … and that wakeup my interest, again, to see what is going on in the NoSQL database space.

Wow … a lot!

I must admit, I was very impressed with very good resources for NoSQL databases and all supporting tools.  This weekend, I had a go! And first question I had, was: "What NoSQL database I will test/explore first?". With google’s help, very soon I founded that MongoDB is the first in line to have a go; well know and supported across platforms. And that  was right decision.

What I did?
I created new Linux Ubuntu VMware (Fusion), installed MongoDB, Python, Bottle, Sypder and Robomongo – and I had good fun. 
This is fist time (for long time) on the Linux, I did not have any problems with installations and connectivity between database/MongoDB and all tools (Python and Rodomongo). All worked first time – with very little google’s help! Thank you to all people involve with in these projects.


I am old RDBMS dude, and I was very impressed with MongoDB speed – please note this is speed on the VMware machine with 4GB RAM, hosted on iMac late 2009 with 16GB RAM. Next step is to explore fusion between Python and MongoDB .


Below are link I would like to share with you. Have a good day and have a good fun with MongoDB:
