As the IT directоr fоr а lаrge tertiаry care center, yоu were asked to create a database that will collect patient information for the oncology department.

The NoSQL database is not the better choice to meet the oncology division’s needs for ease of growth and ability to aggregate data. Cost and time savings are benefits as well. These benefits outweigh the ease of searching the relational database.
