PHP DEVELOPERS ZONE

The need to store big data on a long-term basis, and to recover it efficiently, has provoked over the years the creation and development of various complex database systems like Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server and many others.

While their usage for storing and managing big data websites is undisputable, many small websites nowadays often with just a few pages continue using multi-tables relational databases with a complex structure (with just Wordpress sites using MySQL being approximately one half of the websites in the world).

For small websites the usage of complex relational databases like MySQL has also different disadvantages like making the website installation more difficult (it's necessary to create a MySQL separately, install the website database and create a database configuration file for the site), requiring special hosting supporting MySQL, making the site slower (usually on shared hosting packages, thousands of websites are hosted on one server and they all make their connections to a single MySQL server causing very often server overloads and slow response times) and others. 

The usage of no database PHP scripts for such websites (storing instead the information in XML or flat files or CSV or other file format structure) could make the sites very easy to install and to execute. We present you below such examples of NoSQL site scripts that can be used for different types of websites or business activities.
