Not only that, but Postgres has great JSON support. I think a good way to put it is: If you don't know the ins and outs of SQL, start there. It solves the vast majority of problems you'll encounter. Expand out to NoSQL as your needs (and knowledge) arise.


I know you mentioned Postgres, I was just wondering high if you or anyone else had experience with using JSON with MySQL? I am currently in a place at work where the design was made to use MySQL and we can’t back out of that and I find their documentation a little terse in this subject (I’m not a SQL expert) so I was wondering if anyone could speak to it at all? Does it automatically parse the keys in a JSON file as table names for where to put the values or are you just calling a file every time? Is one per say more effective or efficient than the other?

Sorry to latch on I’m very eager to learn. Our stacks of choice are Django and Flask respectively, if that helps


Right on! This is the reason I've actually mentioned Postgres.
