NoSQL is a collection of data items represented in a **key-value store**, **document store**, **wide column store**, or a **graph database**. Data is denormalized, and joins are generally done in the application code. Most NoSQL stores lack true ACID transactions and favor [eventual consistency](#eventual-consistency). -**BASE** is often used to describe the properties of NoSQL databases. In comparison with the [CAP Theorem](#cap-theorem), BASE chooses availability over consistency. +**BASE** is often used to describe the properties of NoSQL databases. In comparison with the [ACID](#relational-database-management-system-rdbms), BASE chooses availability over consistency. * **Basically available** - the system guarantees availability. * **Soft state** - the state of the system may change over time, even without input.
