In addition, data science professionals also have the old giant—relational database management systems (RDBMS)—as an option. Typical data science and analytics use cases have now expanded to text, social media, IoT, and the cloud. With so much to consider, how do you choose the right database for your specific data science project? This course can help by sharing what you need to know to make an informed decision.

Next, Kumaran goes over different database types, sharing the strengths and weaknesses of each one. To wrap up, he walks through specific use cases and shows how to select the best database technology for each situation.
