If you’re exploring the world of NoSQL databases, then MongoDB — sometimes billed as the NoSQL RDBMS — deserves a place on your list. In IBM developerWorks “MongoDB: A NoSQL datastore with (all the right) RDBMS moves“, you’ll learn all about MongoDB’s custom API, interactive shell, and support for RDBMS-style dynamic queries, as well as quick and easy MapReduce calculations. Then you’ll get started creating, finding, and manipulating data using MongoDB’s native Java language driver and a handy Groovy wrapper called GMongo.After reading about MongoDB, don’t forget to check out “REST up with CouchDB and Groovy’s RESTClient“, which covers CouchDB, a somewhat similar document oriented datastore.
