Oracle is introducing a major new release of its NoSQL database – version of 4.0. First unveiled in 2011, the Oracle NoSQL Database is a key-value database that evolved from the company’s acquisition of BerkeleyDB Java Edition, a mature, high-performance embeddable database.
While Oracle is well known for its relational database technology, fundamentally, Oracle focuses on data management in general, and views NoSQL as one of the key products in the data management space from Oracle, said Ashok Joshi, senior director of NoSQL, Berkeley Database, and Database Mobile Server at Oracle.
