# Finding SQL for my project

### Why

I am a **scholar at SAP** now, most you you might not know what a scholar is, so I am also doing my MTech as work integrated program (WILP at bits - https://bits-pilani-wilp.ac.in/ ) and for completing my 3rd Sem DBMS project, I was searching for something new I could learn in database side, rather than going with the plain old Mysql. I had already tried postgres and mongoDB earlier, so I was looking for a different architecture.

### Application 

I little intro to our application, me and my team of 4 more scholars are working on a voting application and for that we needed a database.


### What I found out

So I came across this new concept of newSQL, which basically mixes the advantages of RDBMS and noSQL, which sounded awesome, so I am planning to use one, you can read about it from this awesome post from medium:  [NewSql - medium](https://medium.com/capital-one-tech/newsql-the-next-evolution-in-databases-19109973ee53) 
 

I also found free hostings of DBs,
1. Redis - Redis-labs: [Redislab](https://redislabs.com/)
1. MySql - Using [github student pack](https://education.github.com/pack/offers) - [educationhost](https://educationhost.co.uk/)
1. Postgres - [heroku](https://www.heroku.com/) - you get benefits from using [github student pack](https://education.github.com/pack/offers)
1. mongoDB - [Atlas](https://cloud.mongodb.com/)

I hope you like the post, please forgive me if it is not properly structured or lacks media, this is my 2nd post, I'll try to improve as I go forward :)
