To be precise: There is no "better" option of both. I do relate with "many regretted it" because relational database such as MySQL, PSQL (which I recommend over MySQL) are still state-of-the-art but the power of NoSQL DBs such as MongoDB must not be underestimated. I think the problem is that people start with NoSQL databases before they got a proper education how to work with it - I did the same. And hence they feel like missing out their well-known relational structures - which is a valid and fair point.
But I think it is really not as simple as saying: One is better than the other :)
There are a lot of really good "Relational Database vs Document-based Database" articles out there so I would recommend starting to read those and then depending on what fits your needs making the decision 👍
For beginners nothing can beat MySQL, though. Even for majority of projects a simple relational DB like MySQL or PostgreSQL is the best choice. The only successful use of MongoDB that I know about in the wild is Trello.

I disagree to the extent that as always in business it comes down to a proper pre-analysis. Depending on which type of learner you are NoSQL / SQL can be easier. That really is individual. Stating "Nothing can beat MySQL" is a very absolute expression. In IT things can rarely be seen absolute but always depend on the individual and the business case: linkedin.com/pulse/why-amazon-goog...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Definitely MySQL.
Ok thanks
