Hi all,
I plan an application that sends queries to a data store and generates graphs from the data. The data are a relatively large number of records and will increase by and by. Currently, they are provided in a MySQL database. I wonder what are the alternatives to a SQL database for using the data in my application.
- The application should run locally but maybe later also on a server.
- I need to make fast queries on the data (= indexing).
- The whole system should be scalable
I have no exprience with databases or datastoring yet. so, what would be the alternatives to a database? could you give me some keywords/tipps to start my search?
Thank you! Luke
