Should I use SQLite or MongoDB?

Why is SQLite bad?

Disadvantages of SQLite Because SQLite reads and writes directly to an ordinary disk file, the only applicable access permissions are the typical access permissions of the underlying operating system. This makes SQLite a poor choice for applications that require multiple users with special access permissions.

When should I use MongoDB instead of SQL?

SQL databases are used to store structured data while NoSQL databases like MongoDB are used to save unstructured data. MongoDB is used to save unstructured data in JSON format. MongoDB does not support advanced analytics and joins like SQL databases support.

When should you not use SQLite?

A good rule of thumb is to avoid using SQLite in situations where the same database will be accessed directly (without an intervening application server) and simultaneously from many computers over a network. SQLite will normally work fine as the database backend to a website.

Should I use MongoDB for structured data?

MongoDB is built on a scale-out architecture that has become popular with developers of all kinds for developing scalable applications with evolving data schemas. As a document database, MongoDB makes it easy for developers to store structured or unstructured data. It uses a JSON-like format to store documents.
