CST363 - Week 7

We covered two databases: MongoDB and MySQL. Both are used to store and manage data, and they help developers add, update, and remove information. MongoDB is a NoSQL database, which means it does not require a fixed structure. This makes it very flexible and allows you to store data in a free-form way. MySQL, on the other hand, is a relational database that uses tables with a clear structure, making it easier to run complex queries and manage data that is organized in a specific format.

In addition to their differences, both databases share some similar features. They both allow you to work with data in a way that supports modern applications and websites. MongoDB is often chosen when projects need to handle varied or quickly changing data, while MySQL is preferred when the data is predictable and requires strong relationships between different pieces of information. Therefore, the choice depends on the project needs. If we need flexibility and fast development, MongoDB might be a better fit. If we need strict organization and detailed queries, MySQL could be the right option.
