Hi @RishabhAgarwal-2001 ,
So sorry about that. Strapi supports relational databases that is why we requested this content. Please let me know when you implement this.
Also, depending on the effort and quality of your content, we might increase this to intermediate.
Please do well to join our Discord community channel if you haven't, https://discord.gg/invite/strapi. 😊

Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku! I would be interested in writing this article.

Hi @RishabhAgarwal-2001 ,
Thanks for your interest in this article. Could you please provide us with an outline?
from community-content.
Thanks @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku. Here is my proposed outline.
I. Introduction
- Briefly explain relational databases and their importance.
- Highlight the four open-source relational databases: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, and SQLite.
- State the purpose of the article: To guide developers in selecting the most suitable database for their project.
II. Core Features Comparison
- Database Architecture:
- PostgreSQL: Object-relational (ORDBMS) with advanced features.
- MariaDB: Relational (similar to MySQL) with focus on scalability and performance.
- MySQL: Widely used relational database, good for basic needs.
- SQLite: Embeddable single-file database, lightweight and simple.
- Data Types & Functionality:
- Compare supported data types (e.g., JSON, geospatial) across all four.
- Highlight unique functionalities offered by each database (e.g., PostgreSQL's stored procedures, SQLite's virtual tables).
- Performance & Scalability:
- Discuss factors affecting performance (query complexity, data volume etc.).
- Compare how each database handles large datasets and concurrent access.
- Briefly mention scalability options (e.g., replication) offered by each.
III. Development Experience
- Ease of Use & Learning Curve:
- Compare installation and setup complexity.
- Discuss the difficulty of learning the query language (SQL) for each database.
- Community & Support:
- Highlight the size and activity level of each database's developer community.
- Mention available support options (e.g., official documentation, forums).
- Third-Party Tools and Integrations
- Discuss available tools for administration, backup, and monitoring for each database.
IV. Use Cases & Recommendations
- Scenario-Based Recommendations:
- Provide real-world use cases where each database would be a good choice (e.g., web application with complex queries - PostgreSQL, embedded system with limited resources - SQLite).
V. Conclusion
- Summarize the key takeaways for developers.
- Reiterate the importance of selecting the right database for project success.

Hello, @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku.
I'd love to write this article.
I've included my proposed outline below for you to look over. The word count would be 2000-3000 words. I could break down the various sections and assign word count if you'd like that.
Choosing the Right Relational Database - A Comparison of PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, and SQLite
I. Introduction
- Brief explanation of relational databases and their importance in application development.
- Introduction to the four relational databases: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, and SQLite.
- Purpose of the article: to provide a comparison guide for choosing the most suitable database solution.
II. Key Considerations for Selecting a Relational Database
- Data Model and Schema:
- Structured vs. semi-structured data requirements.
- Importance of data integrity and normalization.
- Performance and Scalability:
- Anticipated data volume and growth.
- Read vs. write workload demands.
- Vertical vs. horizontal scaling needs.
- Security:
- User authentication and access control requirements.
- Data encryption needs.
- Cost and Licensing:
- Open-source vs. commercial database options.
- Total cost of ownership (TCO) considerations.
- Ease of Use and Administration:
-
Learning curve and required technical expertise.
-
Available developer tools and community support.
III. Deep Dive into Each Database
- PostgreSQL:
-
Strengths: ACID compliance, advanced features (e.g., stored procedures, triggers), high performance.
-
Weaknesses: Can be complex to set up and manage, slightly larger resource footprint.
-
Use cases: Complex applications, data warehousing, high-availability environments.
- MariaDB:
-
Strengths: Open-source, drop-in replacement for MySQL, high compatibility.
-
Weaknesses: Features set slightly less extensively than PostgreSQL.
-
Use cases: General-purpose web applications, similar to MySQL use cases.
- MySQL:
-
Strengths: Widely used, mature, well-established, large community and resources.
-
Weaknesses: Less emphasis on advanced features compared to PostgreSQL, may not scale as well for massive datasets.
-
Use cases: Web applications, e-commerce platforms, content management systems (CMS).
- SQLite:
-
Strengths: Lightweight, embedded database, simple to use, no separate server required.
-
Weaknesses: Limited scalability, may not be suitable for large, complex applications.
-
Use cases: Mobile apps, local applications, data logging, prototyping.
IV. Comparison Table
- Table summarizing each database's key features, performance benchmarks, and licensing models.
V. Conclusion
- Recap of the importance of considering project requirements when choosing a database.
- Guidance based on different use case scenarios (e.g., high-performance needs, simple embedded solutions).
- Brief mentions of non-relational databases (NoSQL) as an alternative for specific use cases.
VI. Additional Resources
- Links to official documentation and community resources for each database.

Hi @RishabhAgarwal-2001 ,
Thanks for your article outline. Would you please be willing to include personally created diagrams to show comparisons as well?
Please let me know.
from community-content.
Sure @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku. I can add feature comparison matrix as diagrams to the blog.

Hey @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku, I have completed the 1st draft for the article. Please let me know what you think.
from community-content.
Hi @RishabhAgarwal-2001 ,
Thanks for your contribution! I have gone through your work. It is great! But I not quite impressed.
I believe you can make it better by linking it back to Strapi. Perhaps you could talk about how to use and connect them in Strapi application. That way, the content will be complete and not lacking. Please let me know what you think.
from community-content.
I can try adding that to my blog @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku. I didn't include it initially since there was no mention in either the outline or the discussions we had.
from community-content.
Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku! Hope you are doing well.
I have updated the draft and added a new section called 'Database Integration with Strapi'. There I have provided steps on connecting different databases with Strapi. I have also provided hyperlinks to existing articles that talk about integrations with Strapi in a much more comprehensive way.
Let me know of your thoughts on the new draft. Thanks!
from community-content.
Thank you @RishabhAgarwal-2001 🥳
I will take a good look at it.
