*Further Information*

*The article explains the importance of columnar databases in improving data storage of companies and businesses. These databases use SQL and NoSQL languages and can cut the input/output bottleneck in analytic queries, where data inputs and outputs can assess the speed of data execution. Columnar databases are unique to the row-based stores, because the columns in a table are not kept in a storage, improving the convenience of the data management side of the database management system to search through several columns fast.*
