If you have already been creating apps on our Node.JS framework, you must have experienced ultra-fast query processing, all thanks to the MongoDB database integration. While there is nothing wrong with this NoSQL database support, you might want to go beyond the existing realm of JSON-specific querying.
Was SQL Database Support a delayed decision?
The decision was always in the pipeline. However, our initial tilt was towards MongoDB, as we wanted businesses and developers to experience speed, more than anything else. We believed that a ProCode platform as inventive as DhiWise was better off proffering support for a database that could handle multiple data variants and types.
But now, it seems appropriate to move beyond the schema-less MongoDB by including SQL databases into the mix.
Why Developers would welcome this shift?
Let’s be honest, speed isn’t everything when it comes to databases. While MongoDB does offer seamlessness with its support for CRUD operations and eventual scalability, data storage with this NoSQL database can make the app heavier than usual.
Plus, any developer who wants to create an app that can concurrently handle more than one collection, as per the user request, would want SQL databases by his or her side.
Sleuthing with DhiWise: Here is how our SQL Catalog looks like?
SQL databases are relational. Period! This means, if your application needs data pulled from other collections, pertaining to a single query, SQL might be the database choice to consider. Therefore, if you plan on developing an OLTP application that concerns inventory, order processing, reservations, and more, SQL seems like a good option.
DhiWise, as a part of its new launch, ensures that you get to benefit from the ACID property of the SQL databases that focus on Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Therefore, you can expect the app to showcase the following traits:
Not just SQL, but More!
While other app development platforms simply go about deliberating differences between SQL and NoSQL databases, DhiWise does one better by letting you choose the relational database that makes the most sense to your app development.
Choice 1: MySQL
Here is the thing; MySQL is the database solution of choice for Twitter, Amazon, Netflix, and every other online giant.

, and more
Choice 2: PostgreSQL
Excellent functionality, support for multiple data types, and one of the more advanced databases that are open-source.

Choice 3: SQL Server
More of a commercial solution for apps with massive traffic-specific workloads! Perfect for designing and developing Windows-based services!
Benefits for Developers
As an experienced developer, you would know how these three SQL database solutions come with separate, unique, yet potent functionalities. For instance, if your app requires scalability across different versions and high performance but at the expense of concurrency, MySQL is a pretty standard choice.
As an object-relational SQL database, PostgreSQL is good for concurrency and speeds. Finally, if your application has intricate business logic to take care of, prefers minimal CPU consumption, and needs greater security safeguards, SQL Server is the one to consider.
However, we would suggest you to not get overwhelmed by this functionality as we shall be covering every database type, its real-time usage, integration, and every aspect of functionality at length. At DhiWise, our aim, going ahead, would be to help you create apps with diverse functionalities and regardless of the complexity of the business logic you choose to implement.
