hybrid databases that have a relational database framework but data is stored in forms other than a table (classes) – works for both structured and unstructured data.
Object Oriented Database
data is broken into multiple tables of related fields which are connected to one another. Best for structured data
Relational Database
(not only SQL) each item is stored individually rather than in rows and columns and because it uses more than just SQL it works well with other languages and websites. Best for unstructured data
NoSQL Database

Referential Integrity
The primary key cannot be null, which means empty.
