Familiarize yourself with non-relational (NoSQL) databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, or Redis.
Learn about their advantages, such as scalability and flexibility, and understand when to use them instead of traditional relational databases.
Database Management Tools:
Gain hands-on experience with database management tools and interfaces for creating, managing, and querying databases.
Examples include phpMyAdmin for MySQL, pgAdmin for PostgreSQL, or MongoDB Compass for MongoDB.
