Abstract

With the growing popularity of the internet, the amount of information available is also growing. Big data processing is required for Web Service 4.0 because of the necessity for extremely large-scale, highly concurrent social networking sites that are purely dynamic. The rigorous schema and robust query capabilities of traditional relational databases (RDBMS) have long dominated structured data storage. To meet the requirement for high speed, the current relational database must scale horizontally. As a result, designers must take these factors into account when creating a new class of databases known as NoSQL. This study compares the two database systems, looking at their performance, applicability in modern applications, and architectural tenets. To find out whether final-year students preferred relational or NoSQL databases for project work, a survey was administered to them. According to the findings, NoSQL databases are becoming more and more popular, especially in fields that need to handle unstructured data effectively, flexibly, and scalable. According to one analysis, 70% of students choose NoSQL systems, with MongoDB standing out as a top pick because of its document-oriented design and performance. Relational databases are still useful for applications that require transactional integrity and structured data. In order to educate students, the findings highlight the necessity for academic programs to balance the teaching of both database paradigms. Insights on database selection criteria and the possible future incorporation of industry input to improve instructional tactics are provided in the study's conclusion.
