摘要：In this article we present a comparative study between the usage capabilities of MongoDB, a non-relational database, and MySQL’s usage capabilities, a relational database, as a back-end for an online platform. We will also present the advantages of using a non-relational database, namely MongoDB, compared to a relational database, namely MySQL, integrated in an online platform, which allows users to publish different articles, books, magazines and so on, and also gives them the possibility to share online their items with other people. Nowadays, most applications have thousands of users that perform operations simultaneously thus, it takes more than one operation to be executed at a time, to really see the differences between the two databases. This paper aims to highlight the differences between MySQL and MongoDB, integrated in an online platform, when various operations were executed in parallel by many users.
