The Definitive Guide to MongoDB: The NoSQL Database for Cloud and Desktop Computing (Paperback)

MongoDB, a cross-platform NoSQL database, is the fastest-growing new database in the world. MongoDB provides a rich document-oriented structure with dynamic queries that you’ll recognize from RDBMS offerings such as MySQL. In other words, this is a book about a NoSQL database that does not require the SQL crowd to re-learn how the database world works!

MongoDB has reached 1.0 and boasts 50,000+ users. The community is strong and vibrant and MongoDB is improving at a fast rate. With scalable and fast databases becoming critical for today’s applications, this book shows you how to install, administer and program MongoDB without pretending SQL never existed.

What you’ll learn

• Set up MongoDB on all major platforms, including Linux and Cloud platforms
• Model data within a document-oriented database
• Work with your data using non-SQL commands
• Write applications using MongoDB's PHP API
• Optimize MongoDB
• Master MongoDB administration, including replication

Who this book is for

This book will appeal to everyone with some experience in database administration, and provides the entry point for those of us who don’t want to hear about database theory but still need to implement a NoSQL-based database. PHP developers will also profit from this book, since it will add an important NoSQL database to their toolkit.

MongoDB，一個跨平台的NoSQL資料庫，是全球增長最快的新型資料庫。MongoDB提供了一個豐富的面向文件的結構，並具有您在關聯式資料庫管理系統（如MySQL）中熟悉的動態查詢功能。換句話說，這本書是關於一個不需要SQL專業人士重新學習資料庫工作方式的NoSQL資料庫！

MongoDB已經達到1.0版本，擁有50,000多個用戶。社群強大而活躍，MongoDB的改進速度很快。隨著可擴展和快速的資料庫對於當今應用程序變得至關重要，本書將向您展示如何安裝、管理和編程MongoDB，而不需要假裝SQL從未存在過。

您將學到什麼：
- 在所有主要平台上設置MongoDB，包括Linux和雲平台
- 在面向文件的資料庫中建模數據
- 使用非SQL命令處理數據
- 使用MongoDB的PHP API編寫應用程序
- 優化MongoDB
- 掌握MongoDB管理，包括複製

本書適合對資料庫管理有一定經驗的所有人，並為那些不想聽到關於資料庫理論但仍需要實施基於NoSQL的資料庫的人提供了入門點。PHP開發人員也將從本書中受益，因為它將為他們的工具箱增加一個重要的NoSQL資料庫。
