While a lot of the terms associated with this topic might be familiar to many web professionals out there, I\u2019m laying it all out to help those who could do without the techspeak. So let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MySQL and MongoDB are \u2018database management systems\u2019. To really understand the difference, let\u2019s first look at what a database is:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What are databases?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Databases are applications that store collections of data, organised in a certain way. Data can include information and content ranging from lists of products to images, videos, personal information and more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What can databases do?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For several reasons including security and speed, storing data in a file system on a separate computer is not a sensible route to meet the requirements of websites today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Databases help you easily and efficiently create, access, search for and replicate the data of your website. The software that helps manage that database is called a \u2018<\/span><b>Database Management System\u2019 or DBMS.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>DBMS &#8211; MongoDB vs MySQL :<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various Database Management Systems and each organizes data in a certain way. We call these <\/span><b>\u2018database models\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some examples of database models include the <\/span><b>\u2018relational model\u2019 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a newer model known as<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the<\/span><b> \u2018non-relational model\u2019. &nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MySQL uses the former model and MongoDB the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Relational databases:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data in a relational database is sorted into tables and relations or links are made between data in different columns, rows and other tables. A <\/span><b>table in a database<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would look similar to an excel spreadsheet with columns, rows and an index. Relational databases receive commands\/requests or \u2018<\/span><b>queries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 in <\/span><b>SQL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a structured query language that will combine data from different tables to fulfil your \u2018query\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SQL is the language used for creating, inserting, storing, updating, deleting, retrieving and manipulating data in databases. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MySQL:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MySQL is the most popular database management system in the world. Used largely for web-based applications and popular for its ease-of-use and tested performance over the years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why do most web developers prefer to work with MySQL?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s open-source: Only enterprises need to purchase a license<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has wide usage: Usually comes integrated with most web hosting accounts like your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linux <a href=\"https:\/\/india.resellerclub.com\/shared-hosting\">Shared Hosting<\/a> package<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and can be widely used on most platforms such as Linux, Windows, Ubuntu, Mac OS X, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s reliable: as been a tried and tested over the years<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It works well with PHP and can also be used with other programming languages such as JAVA, PERL, C, C++ and more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Works well for small and large applications<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What are the downsides to relational databases and MySQL?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalability: Adding more data to a certain record could involve expanding to several tables, columns and rows<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed: Dispersing data due to the very structure of it does sometimes take a while<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s difficult for the managers of the database to insert new data because of this complexity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to write the schema to define the table first before using it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Database Popularity<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21733\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DB1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1205\" height=\"325\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/db-engines.com\/en\/ranking\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/db-engines.com\/en\/ranking<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, the most popular DBMS are \u2018relational\u2019, with usage of the top 3 dipping in the last few months. The only non-relational database to break into this trend is a database known as \u2018MongoDB\u2019 and as you can see, its numbers are growing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MongoDB:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MongoDB is an open-source database system that uses the \u2018document model\u2019. Unlike MySQL (introduced in 1995), MongoDB is a newer database management system (released in 2009) and is making a strong impact on the modern web world. The company reported strong growth numbers for the first quarter of 2018 and its database model is disrupting the industry. Microsoft recently introduced an API that will enable the use of MongoDB on its Azure Cosmos DB that it launched in 2017 and Google announced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudplatform.googleblog.com\/2018\/03\/expanding-MongoDB-Atlas-availability-on-GCP.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">further use of MongoDB on Google Cloud<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Non-relational databases\/NoSQL and MongoDB:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-relational databases organize data very differently. While there are 4 types of non-relational databases, I will only focus on one today i.e the \u2018document-based model\u2019 which is what MongoDB uses. This database organizes data into documents- more specifically, JSON documents. JSON is a format for easy data exchanges between humans and machines. JSON documents provide a more flexible data structure than the traditional SQL-structured databases as new fields can be added at any time and also have any type of data value. This is a huge help for companies who have to deal with large volumes of data. Many today consider RDMS to be unable to meet the expectations from today\u2019s data-intensive applications. Unlike MySQL, databases that are non-relational can store unstructured data such as user logs, sessions, images, videos, chats and also data from IoT devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What makes MongoDB so attractive?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MongoDB can support the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexibility- Firstly, the document structure <a href=\"\/blog\/mongodb-should-you-as-a-web-pro-or-a-web-developer-switch-to-it\/\">is more in line with how developers code<\/a> in their respective programming languages which is clear and structured in key-value pairs. This makes it easier to add and edit data\/documents at any time. In a relational database, this would involve the database having to be restructured<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supports a wide range of queries &#8211; fields, expressions, range queries, JavaScript functions and more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faster turnaround time-because related data which would be stored across several tables in a MySQL database are stored in the same document in a MongoDB<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No strict schemas followed-you are allowed to create a document first before defining the structure of the document, making it very helpful for businesses who in a start-up phase who are unsure of what their database structure should look like<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like we mentioned, MongoDB\u2019s features make it better suited to those who handle huge volumes of data<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What are the downsides to MongoDB?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since this is a newer database, unless you train yourself, the number of experts in MongoDB are fewer than the ones in MySQL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MongoDB is known to eat up a lot of server memory <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Are MySQL and MongoDB similar in any way?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both use indices- if an index is missing, the entire database must be scanned to find a match to the query<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">License-both are Open-source<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security risks-honestly, the verdict still out on this one. Take adequate security safeguards when using both systems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>MongoDB vs MySQL comparison &#8211; summary<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><b>MySQL<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>MongoDB<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Released<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1995- currently in its 8th version in 2018<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2009<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Structure<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relational<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-relational<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Issuer<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oracle<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MongoDB Inc.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Speed<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slower than MongoDB<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faster than MySQL.

MongoDB wins for speed and scalability while the badge for security (in comparison at least) can be awarded to MySQL. Several articles tout the newness of MongoDB and refer to MySQL as an old-fashioned, outdated system. This could not be further from the truth. Non-relational databases are just an alternative technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Reseller Club Hosting Services<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/reseller-hosting\">Reseller Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/windows-reseller-hosting\">Windows Reseller Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/cloud-hosting\">Cloud Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/vps-hosting\">VPS Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/managed-vps-hosting\">Managed VPS Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/dedicated-server-hosting\">Dedicated Server Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/windows-dedicated-server-hosting\">Windows Dedicated Server<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/managed-dedicated-server-hosting\">Managed Dedicated Server<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/shared-hosting\">Linux Shared Hosting<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/windows-shared-hosting\">Windows Shared Hosting<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.resellerclub.com\/blog\/mongodb-vs-mysql-comparison\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this blog on the \u2018MongoDB vs MySQL comparison\u2019, I\u2019ll break down database jargon to explain the difference between the newer system and the legacy that is MySQL.
