| czajkowski | also if anyone would like to learn about MongoDB, there is a free class on it over the coming weeks, self paced and you get acert at the end of it . https://education.mongodb.com/courses/10gen/M101P/2013_November/about | 11:21 |
|---|---|---|
| zmoylan-len | nice | 11:24 |
| czajkowski | yeah | 11:26 |
| czajkowski | self paced means you can try it at your own pace which is nice | 11:26 |
| slashbel | maybe silly question (as i have yet to be sold the idea) but what has mongo got to offer that the likes of mysql/postgres cannot provide? | 11:29 |
| * slashbel rarely touches databases these days | 11:29 | |
| ebel | slashbel: usually much more scale. | 11:39 |
| ebel | slashbel: and in theory if you like json-y things | 11:39 |
| ebel | (though most web apps /should/ have proper db migrations...) | 11:39 |
| ebel | (I /think/) | 11:40 |
| slashbel | aye | 11:42 |
| ebel | y'know, it's like asking "python vs. ruby" :P different types of software | 11:55 |
| ebel | slashbel: remember, sometimes ACID databases (like MySQL/postgreSQL) can do *too* much | 11:56 |
| ebel | transactions, etc. *can* slow things down when you don't need transactions | 11:56 |
| ebel | If you *don't care* about consistancy & atomicity, then you can get speed benefits from ignore them and forcing the app writer to do it. | 11:57 |
| ebel | Like C++ vs Java. If you don't care about memory management, and are happy with forcing the app developer to deal with it, you can get speed benefits from not including it. | 11:58 |
