MongoDB是一个基于分布式文件存储的数据库。由C++语言编写。旨在为WEB应用提供可扩展的高性能数据存储解决方案。
介于关系数据库和非关系数据库之间的产品,是非关系数据库当中功能最丰富,最像关系数据库的。他支持的数据结构非常松散,是类似json的bjson格式,因此可以存储比较复杂的数据类型。Mongo最大的特点是他支持的查询语言非常强大,其语法有点类似于面向对象的查询语言, 几乎可以实现类似关系数据库单表查询的绝大部分功能,而且还支持对数据建立索引。
它的特点是高性能、易部署、易使用,存储数据非常方便。主要功能特性有:
*面向集合存储,易存储对象类型的数据。
*模式自由。
*支持动态查询。
*支持完全索引,包含内部对象。
*支持查询。
*支持复制和故障恢复。
*使用高效的二进制数据存储,包括大型对象(如视频等)。
*自动处理碎片,以支持云计算层次的扩展性
*支持RUBY,PYTHON,JAVA,C++,PHP等多种语言。
*文件存储格式为BSON(一种JSON的扩展)
*可通过网络访问
更新说明:
We are happy to announce that MongoDB v1.8.0 is now available. 1.8 is the stable follow-up release to 1.6, which came out in August of 2010. Version 1.8 introduces many new features, along with bug fixes and other improvements. Some of the highlights:
·Journaling
·Sharding performance improvements
·Replica set enhancements, including support for authentication
·Spherical geo search
·Covered and sparse indexes
·B-tree index self-compaction
·New map/reduce options for incremental updates
·Tab completion in the shell
·mongostat --discover
A journaling storage engine has been one of the most requested and discussed features within the MongoDB community, and we’re happy to announce that journaling is now available. With journaling enabled, crash recovery is fast and safe.
There were no major changes to sharding, but this release includes many internal improvements, making for a vastly improved experience. As an example, splitting and balancing are considerably faster, with less impact on the overall system.
