Why Real-Time Analytics Requires Both the Flexibility of NoSQL and Strict Schemas of SQL Systems

Rockset

Traditional databases, with their wholly-inflexible structures, are brittle. So are schemaless NoSQL databases, which capably ingest firehoses of data but are poor at extracting complex insights from that data. And the same risk of data errors and data downtime also exists. NoSQL Comes to the Rescue.

Smart Schema: Enabling SQL Queries on Semi-Structured Data

Rockset

In this blog post, we show how Rockset’s Smart Schema feature lets developers use real-time SQL queries to extract meaningful insights from raw semi-structured data ingested without a predefined schema. This is particularly true given the nature of real-world data. In NoSQL systems, data is strongly typed but dynamically so.
