Learn the new Document Store feature of MySQL 8 and build applications
around a mix of the best features from SQL and NoSQL database paradigms.
Don't allow yourself to be forced into one paradigm or the other, but
combine both approaches by using the Document Store.
MySQL 8 was designed from the beginning to bridge the gap between NoSQL
and SQL. Oracle recognizes that many solutions need the capabilities of
both. More specifically, developers need to store objects as loose
collections of schema-less documents, but those same developers also
need the ability to run structured queries on their data. With MySQL 8,
you can do both! Introducing the MySQL 8 Document Store presents new
tools and features that make creating a hybrid database solution far
easier than ever before. This book covers the vitally important MySQL
Document Store, the new X Protocol for developing applications, and a
new client shell called the MySQL Shell. Also covered are supporting
technologies and concepts such as JSON, schema-less documents, and more.
The book gives insight into how features work and how to apply them to
get the most out of your MySQL experience. The book covers topics such
as:
- The headline feature in MySQL 8
- MySQL's answer to NoSQL
- New APIs and client protocols
