I've not used Mongo/Ming myself as yet. I'm about to, but I just haven't done so *yet*. From what I've heard, though, you have great scalability with Mongo that is difficult to achieve in any other way.
Personally, I would not use MySQL unless the choices were MySQL or SQLIte. PostgreSQL is a much more mature platform IME. Basically, go for either PostgreSQL or Mongo. We support both, so we can help you transition your model if you need to. Your data will be a bit more complex, but your model is fairly easy :) On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 10:11 AM, Damien Accorsi <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm about to develop a new application using TG2.
