Comment on Ask HN: SQL or NoSQL?

Comments

I'm working on a fantasy football(NFL) app.

You might need to write an importer that parses your xml, cleans it up.

I just setup an importer for weekly game results. I cut the data off the website that hosts our league and paste it into a form, select the season and week and then click import. It cleans up the text, sets the teams, gets the points, etc and inserts it in to MySQL.

I basically then display the data, run some calculations, etc.

This app is for a history of our league so we have our results if we change providers, etc.

As far as the best fit for you.

What is your goal, do you want to access this data run reports show historical data. If so I would extract it out to MySQL.

Or if you're just analyzing the match maybe import the xml file, show results as a one time process.

Good luck.

Our final goal is to predict results using deep learning. Good luck to you too!
