What is a characteristics of a NoSQL database?

AImmediate consitency

BReduced the storage footprints

CData with well defined schema

DHorizontal scaling

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

NoSQL databases are non-relational, which eliminates the need for connecting tables. Their built-in sharding and high availability capabilities ease horizontal scaling. If a single database server is not enough to store all your data or handle all the queries, the workload can be divided across two or more servers, allowing companies to scale their data horizontally.

Horizontal scaling? More like 'Horizontal Snalling'! Get it? Snalling? Scaling? Ah, I crack myself up.
