1) What is a document database?

by Dan Power
Editor, DSSResources.com 

Increasingly unstructured or semi-structured documents are 
the drivers of new, novel decision support systems. In the 
expanded framework (Power, 2002), DSS linked to a document 
database are called document-driven DSS. A number of approaches 
can be used to store and retrieve documents for decision support 
including: 1) storing the documents in directories or files, 
2) using a RDBMS to store documents or some document metadata 
with a link to the complete document, 3) using a document-oriented 
database. Document databases are a type of "NoSQL" or XML database. Documents may be stored using markup, XML, PDF and Microsoft Office formats.
