NewSQL

<p>NewSQL is a class of <a href="/facts/Relational_database_management_system/pEKGmJLy">relational</a> <a href="/facts/Database_management_system/VYcpkevb">database management systems</a> that seek to provide the scalability of <a href="/facts/NoSQL/vvynRKfd">NoSQL</a> systems for <a href="/facts/Online_transaction_processing/zTIGyx1t">online transaction processing</a> (OLTP) workloads while maintaining the <a href="/facts/ACID/XdHkYzHN">ACID</a> guarantees of a traditional database system.
</p><p>Many <a href="/facts/Enterprise_software/RGa1b0bC">enterprise systems</a> that handle high-profile data (e.g., financial and order processing systems) are too large for conventional relational databases, but have <a href="/facts/Database_transaction/q1Etrsl8">transactional</a> and consistency requirements that are not practical for NoSQL systems. The only options previously available for these organizations were to either purchase more powerful computers or to develop custom <a href="/facts/Middleware/HobNosz9">middleware</a> that distributes requests over conventional <a href="/facts/DBMS/VYcpkevb">DBMS</a>. Both approaches feature high infrastructure costs and/or development costs. NewSQL systems attempt to reconcile the conflicts.
