At the core, both MongoDB and SAP Hana Tools are databases that help in the faster processing of information. Each has its own benefits and can be used by enterprises to streamline their operations and store and retrieve data over the web. Both tools free the business’ IT team from the regular management of its databases and help them to focus on their core functions. Let’s understand what each one is and does in brief.
MongoDB Tools
MongoDB uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and dynamic schemas (termed as BSON by MongoDB) to make data integration faster and easier for certain applications. The open-source platform is classified as a NoSQL database as it does not use the traditional relational database management system (RDMS) for functioning. It is highly scalable and uses a document-oriented structure that allows it to store multiple data points in a single document. Each of these documents is indexed and can be called up through searches to show the data in required formats.
Users can search the database by using keywords, range queries, and even relevant word strings. One of the most important advantages of MongoDB is its horizontal scalability using the sharding technique. Sharding refers to the partition of data in a database, and each shard can be stored on separate servers to balance the database load. Another positive that favors MongoDB is its support of replica sets that allows for high redundancy. From a business perspective, MongoDB tools are a great investment as a database takes very little time to be installed or created. In addition, the in-house IT team can do most of the changes using the tutorials and relevant documentation available online.
SAP Hana Tools
SAP Hana is an in-memory computing application platform that integrates SAP’s database software with servers, storage, hardware and networking capabilities of SAP’s various partners. The relational database management system (RDBMS) combines the database with application processing and integration services that allow for quicker response times and provides real-time information.
SAP Hana Tools provide features such as online Visual SQL Query builders, advanced SQL editors, SQL report builders and SQL job schedulers. Users can use the tools to filter data, add or remove the data or edit certain parts, import CSV format data directly into tables or export the tabular data into .csv files. The tools enable efficient management of big data through the use of relational, text, and calculation engines. Since the application servers, developer environment, and web servers are already integrated into the SAP Hana tool, it reduces the need to rely on third-party tools and services, making it a cost-effective data management system.
