I need to set up a database that will record temporal series data (sensors). A friend of mine has recommended me to use a NoSQL database instead of using Oracle (for instance).

There're also some articles that recommend the same approach: see Andrew Oliver's article.

Why is not convenient to record a temporal series in Oracle (or any other relational database)? Could you please help me in giving an example?

Depends what you want to do with the data. If you only want to store and archive them, you could just save them into plain files. – ypercube Apr 13 at 10:05
Hi ypercube, I want to store the data, but I want also to be able process this data to represent on a graph the series. – joan Apr 13 at 11:08
