Several types of DBMS are commonly used in cancer research:
1. Relational DBMS (RDBMS): These use structured query language (SQL) for defining and manipulating data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. 2. NoSQL DBMS: These are used for unstructured data and can handle large volumes of data. Examples include MongoDB and Cassandra. 3. NewSQL DBMS: These are designed to provide the scalability of NoSQL systems while maintaining the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties of traditional RDBMS. Examples include Google Spanner and CockroachDB.
