Challenges
This was my first major project involving SQL (although not my last!). Having only worked in noSQL databases before I had to learn all sorts of new paradigms.
The most difficult and the most powerful of which are the complex database queries that I had to use.
With something like MongoDB you can expect every item you wish to use to also contain keys to their related items. Such as rooms to hotels in my Hestia Booking project! Whereas with SQL I had to rely on common columns and complex queries to find the info I need.
This makes the database incredibly robust and simple to use when scaling up projects, which is why all my future personal and group projects use a SQL database.
