Data store
In this article, we are going to explore in depth Data store and its impact on different aspects of everyday life. Data store is a topic that has captured the attention of many people in recent times, and it is crucial to understand its implications and applications in various contexts. From its influence on health to its role in society, Data store has proven to be a topic of growing interest that deserves to be analyzed in detail. Throughout this article, we will examine the many facets of Data store and how it has shaped and will continue to shape our world. We will pay special attention to recent advances related to Data store and how these are actively impacting our way of life. Additionally, we will identify the opportunities and challenges arising from Data store and how we can address them.
A data store is a repository for persistently storing and managing collections of data which include not just repositories like databases, but also simpler store types such as simple files, emails, etc.[1]
A database is a collection of data that is managed by a database management system (DBMS), though the term can sometime more generally refer to any collection of data that is stored and accessed electronically. A file is a series of bytes that is managed by a file system. Thus, any database or file is a series of bytes that, once stored, is called a data store.
MATLAB[2] and Cloud Storage systems like VMware,[3] Firefox OS[4] use datastore as a term for abstracting collections of data inside their respective applications.
Types
Data store can refer to a broad class of storage systems including:
- Paper files
- Simple files like a spreadsheet
- File systems
- Email storage systems (both server and client systems)
- Databases
- Relational databases, based on the relational model of data
- Object-oriented databases. They can save objects of an object-oriented design.
- NoSQL databases
- Distributed data stores
- Directory services
- VMware uses the term datastore to refer to a file that stores a virtual machine[5]
