Can I perform complex queries using Parse? (parse.com)


I come from a relational database platform (Oracle) and from my understanding parse is a NoSQL database. Is it possible to perform complex queries such as join between two or more tables, sum/groupby etc? (RDBMS stuff)

If it is possible I'd be happy to get some example from you.

I'm using parse for Android application.


Solution

  • Some of the NoSQL database provide built in functionality like couchdb offers SUM, COUNT and Stats.

    Check out the link. https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Built-In_Reduce_Functions.

    To perform these queries in Oracle Nosql, you need to write logic in java. These have some limitation like If you use Key/Value ApI and JSON format, you will not be able to these. May be these are possible in TableApI Using java.
