NoSQL data stores are widely used to store and retrieve possibly large amounts of data, typically in a key-value format. There are many NoSQL types with different performances, and thus it is important to compare them in terms of performance and verify how the performance is related to the database type. In this paper we provide comparison between the two leading type of Database storage components prevailing in the industry (one is relational database and the second is NOSQL database). The Database is largely concerned with managing massive amount of data in a consistent, stable, repeatable and quick manner. The prominent features of both relational as well as non relational databases have been specified which form the basis of the comparison between the two types of database. This comparison allows users to choose the most appropriate database according to the specific mechanisms and application needs.
