Structured Data Storage
Most applications developed today need structured data stores, i.e. data stores that allow storage of data records that have multiple attributes, and allow the application to query its data based on one or more of these attributes. The most popular example of a structured data store is a relational database. Relational databases allow customers to define their data through a pre-defined relational schema and to query their data using SQL. In addition to relational databases, there are several non-relational structured data stores that allow customers to store data records with multiple attributes and query based on one or more of these attributes. These non-relational data stores differ in how they structure data: all the way from enforcing no schema structure to enforcing a semi structured schema.

The application’s web site allows anyone with an Amazon Payments account to buy or sell digital products, while the marketplace’s owner earns commissions for the sales it performs.
