We examine the benets of converting a SQL databaseto a NoSQL database for the implementation of an Apriori calculation to determine the most common askets” within a data set. After testing the system with BerkeleyDB, MongoDB, and CouchDB, using the original MySQL implementation as a baseline, we nd that all NoS ...
