Choosing appropriate database based on type of data
Hello guys, was just reading a bit about structured and unstructured data.
I read that normally, social media posts unstructured data. Basically, in order to store unstructured data, we use databases like MongoDB (a kind of NoSQL database I think).
My question is, I remember that I was doing a small project on a social networking site and I read in a post somewhere that it's better to use a relational database like Postgress rather than mongodb. Can someone elaborate why please. Because here we have both structured and unstructured data, so which kind of database/types of database would be the most appropriate.... is it possible to use a combination of both?

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
