Introducing Structured Query Server posted Tuesday, March 5, 2024 by The Neighbourhoodie Team productannouncementnews

In the vast realm of databases, two types have consistently marked their presence – the traditional SQL databases and the more flexible NoSQL counterparts. SQL databases, with their structured nature, have been serving businesses for decades. On the other hand, NoSQL databases, notably Apache CouchDB, have catered to the needs of modern web applications and their semi-structured data requirements.

While both have their distinct strengths, there's often been a wish amongst users and developers for something that combines the two — a tool that brings together the scalability of NoSQL with the precise querying of SQL. In response to this need, Neighbourhoodie presents the Structured Query Server. Designed with feedback from the developer community, this addition aims to address common challenges faced by CouchDB users and offer enhanced capabilities for data analysts.

This blog is going show the features of our Structured Query Server for Apache CouchDB, its application, and how it harmonise the two different approaches.
