A non-relational document-based database also called an object-based system, MongoDB allows you to store large amounts of data and also work with that data efficiently.
An open-source relational database management system that follows a specified schema. For accessing and retrieving data stored in rows and columns, Structured Query Language is used.
- In MongoDB, data is stored and represented in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) like a document. - In MySQL, each record is represented as a table-cell structure with rows and columns.
- MongoDB uses MQL (MongoDB Query Language), which is designed to make development easier for developers. - MySQL uses SQL, a structured query language.
- Data storage philosophy and ease of use make MongoDB an appealing option. - Schema of MySQL tables, foreign keys, normalization, etc., makes MySQL a bit more complex.
- As MongoDB has no schema definitions, it is less vulnerable to attacks, which makes it more secure than MySQL. - In MySQL, SQL injection attacks are possible due to their schema design.
