Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) concept has been around in tech world for few years now. IoT focuses on connection of number of smart devices. In near future, IoT will have applications in various domains and these applications are going to produce tremendous amount of data. With the continuous generation of heterogeneous data, problem arises to store, transfer & manage the data efficiently. Traditional database systems used Structured Query Language (SQL) database which has supported all the user requirements along with simplicity, robustness, flexibility, scalability, performance. But the main limitation they are facing is their static schema which is making RDBMS not suitable for IoT applications. On the other hand, NoSQL databases emerging in market have claimed to perform better than SQL database. The NoSQL databases are non-relational, schema free, no joins, easy replication support, horizontally scalable, etc. Does NoSQL perform better than SQL in all application scenarios? An effort to answer the same has been made in this paper. This paper compares SQL and NoSQL databases for a small scale IoT application of water sprinkler system and investigates whether NoSQL performs better than SQL in different scenarios.
