In this post, we check out How to Install ArangoDB on Windows . ArangoDB is a graph database with the document store support. This is one of the most preferred database on cloud and the server infrastructure.
If you are moving from the MongoDB and the MySQL then you are limited to either SQL Server or the Postgresql. So you need to think of alternative databases that allows you option for use cases which can serve through graph database and NoSQL support. In this case ArangoDB is a good option.
While exploring this database, I found out a lot of interesting things about the ArangoDB database on Windows. I learned how to make a query, how to make database storage and also learned how to do database specific things which can help with the migration.
So first thing that you should do is follow the below steps.
One of the interesting thing about the ArangoDB is the query language. You use the AQL for making the SQL like query to fetch data and do other operations on the database. It's also very easy to learn and use if you already have the SQL background. Once you learn to use it, things become lot easier for managing the database.
Do note that ArangoDB has a service and server that needs to be run before you can access the web based interface. You get the web based interface on specific port. You have to make sure to run the service in the background while you try and access the same. Most of the operations with the database are easy to do and run query around. However just make sure to view around to get the idea.
You may also want to check out the interactive tutorial or the documentation for further check out. I have realized that such type of the options are always good for starting up with the database. I have pretty good experience on that note with ArangoDB.
In next post, I am going to cover few other database specific content. Meanwhile you can check out my newsletter for more database specific updates.
