Summary: Database Management

What have we learned?

This chapter started with a brief introduction to database management. We briefly covered database management in React Native and which factors should be considered while selecting a DBMS.

We then moved on to learn about Firebase and its features. We discussed some of the most useful features of Firebase, such as authentication, analytics, hosting, etc. We then discussed the types of databases offered by Firebase, i.e., Realtime database and Cloud Firestore. We briefly learned about the Cloud Firestore database, how it works, and its most important features.

Lastly, we learned how to set up the Cloud Firestore database and execute CRUD operations using Cloud Firestore and React Native. We briefly covered:

• How to create data inside the Cloud Firestore database.

• How to read data from the Cloud Firestore database.

• How to update data inside the Cloud Firestore database.

• How to delete data from the Cloud Firestore database.

Finally, we tested our concepts by practically applying them inside coding playgrounds.
