Description: The term ‘Non-Transactional’ refers to operations in databases that do not support transactions, meaning they do not guarantee properties such as atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID). This approach is common in NoSQL databases, where flexibility and scalability are prioritized over the rigidity of transactions. In a non-transactional environment, operations can be faster and more efficient, as they do not require the overhead associated with transaction management. However, this also implies that data may be in an inconsistent state if an operation fails or if there are concurrency issues. Non-transactional databases are ideal for applications that handle large volumes of data and where speed is critical, such as real-time data processing, data analytics, and high-traffic web applications. Often, these databases use eventual consistency models, allowing data to synchronize over time rather than requiring immediate consistency. In summary, the non-transactional approach offers significant advantages in terms of performance and scalability, albeit at the cost of data integrity in certain scenarios.
