# Databases

I'm planning to go back to SQL databases for better long-term benefits such as complex analytics queries where NoSQL technologies might have hiccups.

### Why Postgres?

* Better on complex queries
* Perfect for enterprise 
* Open source

### Why MySQL?

* Great for web apps
* Ease of use
* Optimized
* Small to Medium
* Owned by Oracle
