The main use case for MongoDB I have seen are custom forms or data that can be nested a variable number of times.
The main problems I have had with MongoDB were that, as of several years ago, it did not integrate well with most (I would argue any in practice) data reporting / displaying third parties.
Also, some of the more advanced queries were not at all intuitive. In fact, I barely remember any of the syntax now. In Mongo's defense, that might have to do with the fact that we atempted some stuff in MongoDB that we would never attempt to do with SQL cursors.
- golergka 8y ago> data that can be nested a variable number of times I'm far from a SQL expert and have mostly done client-side work in my life, but SQL-based database does seem like a good match for things like these. You just need to write more foreign key relations, and constraints are a bit more complicated, but I see no reason to switch to NoSQL for things like these.
