Selecting the right database

How do you select a database in practice? How do you pretend to select it? And, if you want to be serious, how do you select it logically?

MariaDB Academy: NoSQL in MariaDB – JSON support.

Demonstrating the primary JSON functions, JSON_VALID, JSON_COMPACT, JSON_DETAILED, JSON_INSERT, JSON_REPLACE, JSON_REMOVE and JSON_EXTRACT, Vicențiu covers the basics of MariaDB’s JSON functionality, culminating in a game data structure that sees footmen and peasant take on grunts in a human vs computer showdown.
