Difference between Oracle and Cassandra

1. Oracle :

Oracle is a relational database management system (RDBMS). It was developed by Oracle Corporation in 1980. It is the first database designed for grid computing that provides the most flexible and cost-effective way to manage information and application. It runs on major platforms like Windows, Unix, Linux, and macOS. It is a relational database in which data is accessed by the user through the application or query language called SQL.

2. Cassandra :

Cassandra is a free and open-source, distributed, wide column store, NoSQL database management system. It was developed by Apache Software foundation and initially released in July 2008. Cassandra is designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.
