The presenter has over 30-years of experience modelling relational databases and has recently been involved in the design and implementation of some hybrid relational-JSON databases. Topics to be covered will include: A short history of traditional relational data modelling and data normalisation A quick intro to JSON document databases Advantages and disadvantages of both the relational and the JSON-object models Culture clash – the meeting of two worlds Oracle’s Converged DB vision Modelling differences: application-independence vs. application-oriented creating JSON objects from relational data creating relational data from JSON objects “The Best of Both Worlds” – Can relational and JSON live together in harmony? What does a hybrid model look like? Some use-cases. |
