Database: relational/not relational/object oriented... What to choose?
- by Damian
I'm porting a website that I made for app engine to run on a dedicated server. It is coded in java and I'm looking for a database to replace google datastore.
My first thougt was MySql because everybody uses it, but i dont like SQL and I think I would feel more comfortable using OODB or anything else.
With google datastore I could modify my models and don't worry about the database definition at all. I know using MySql that isn't possible. And I don't want to miss that.
And if I use a OODB, which should I use? What about performance compared to MySql?
Well, any idea or tip will really help me since I know nothing about databases.
