Best data base in IBM Bluemix


I am new to Bluemix. I am planning for a web application that could utilize the database service and Watson IoT service. Currenlty I am using mysql for my app, because it is more familiar to me. I have noticed couple of other services too( clearDB, dashDB, Cloudant DB, NoSQLCloudantDB ). I am not sure whether all the terms i mentioned is correct.

I am confused, which service should i follow?. For mysql, How can I see the tables that I pushed?. And, what is meant by, cloudantNoSQL?.

Thanks for the help!


Solution

  • The Watson IoT platform provides a managed connector to the IBM Cloudant NoSQL DB service on Bluemix. https://developer.ibm.com/iotplatform/2016/07/25/enhanced-data-storage-capabilities-for-ibm-watson-iot-platform/

    A single specific storage solution is not going to work for every case so which option you choose may be dependent on your overall architecture and strategy.
