Day 28 — Where’s SQL At?

Mongo…I’m not a fan. Sure it allows for the cramming of data, hopefully organized, into a database. Mongoose you beautiful bastard makes Mongo somewhat better. Sure you can bypass it, because of course, but the structure that is set up is pretty convenient. That’s really the nicest thing I can say about Mongo/Mongoose.

Our daily project, that I’ll be working on until the wee hours, involves creating a schema, entry form, the form that renders to a new page to view, and then edit/delete the entries.

Thus far I’ve gotten up to rendering the page with the response. It’s not rendering. But the data IS hitting the database. So…woot?

Once I can get it to render it’s an all different sort of issue of manipulating the data as that is something I’ve not had the pleasure/misfortune of handling.

Struggles: I could data to render from the database yesterday, today. Not so much. It’s like I’m missing one piece of information. Doesn’t help that I’m getting an error message from a module.

Understand: I made a massive form for data entry in minutes. So that felt nice.

Looking forward to: RELATIONAL DATABASES! Oh how I miss these.

Just look at the above. It’s sooo boring and a cluster…and I miss it with a ferocity.
