Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
An IoT project stores device telemetry as JSON objects that can include new properties at any time. Engineers must query individual documents and filter on nested fields without redesigning a fixed schema. Which type of database is most appropriate for this requirement?
A document database stores data as self-describing JSON (or BSON) documents, allowing each record to have its own shape. Because the schema is flexible, new properties can be added without altering a central definition, and queries can directly target nested values inside each document. Column-family databases can add columns dynamically but organize data in rows and column families rather than self-contained JSON documents, so querying nested JSON structures is not native. Relational databases rely on a fixed table schema, and graph databases are optimized for relationship traversal rather than flexible JSON storage. Therefore, a document database best meets the requirements.
