Couchbase Query
Couchbase Query is a query language and engine for Couchbase Server, a NoSQL distributed database. It provides SQL-like syntax (N1QL, pronounced 'nickel') to query JSON documents stored in Couchbase, enabling developers to perform complex queries, joins, and aggregations on semi-structured data. This allows for flexible data access patterns while leveraging Couchbase's scalability and performance features.
Developers should learn Couchbase Query when working with Couchbase Server to build applications that require rich querying capabilities on JSON data, such as real-time analytics, content management systems, or user profile stores. It is particularly useful in scenarios where SQL familiarity is an advantage but the data model is document-oriented, enabling seamless integration with existing SQL skills while benefiting from NoSQL flexibility and scalability.
