Mongodb was the first serious database I learned when I fell in love with web dev and node.
Unfortunately I am having the hardest time installing it on a Windows 7 machine I had to factory reset. Has anyone had experience with graphql? Is it better more more usable than Mongo?
As far as I know graphQL is just a query language and not a database system. If you want to work with it, you still have to install a database. Someone correct me if I'm wrong ;)
Hi Peter. As they mentioned before, graphql does not store data (it is not a database). It is a query language for APIS. In other words, it allows you to communicate with an api through queries like "SQL", that's all. It is more like a tool, that allows to work with an architecture different from the traditional REST APIs that work through endpoints and HTTP methods. I highly recommend reading the documentation, it is vastly fresh! :) graphql.org/learn/

GraphQL isn't a database as far as I remember. Just an abstraction layer on top of a database. No?

My apologies I'm not looking for something that I don't need you install.
I was just wondering if anyone had experience with graphql and mongoose and Clips Blaine some differences.
Sorry about that

I have been working my way through YouTube conferences, docs and examples. Cannot wait for comprehension to give way to practicality
Forget installing it on Windows and configure it on mlab.com.
mlab is really slick.
