- The datomic.com database is closer to the user than the traditional relational ones. Are you only looking at the traditional databases?Job– Job2013-01-04 03:30:53 +00:00Commented Jan 4, 2013 at 3:30
- @Job No, relational databases are not the only thing that I'm considering here. It's more about understanding the difference between data structures in logic versus the data structures in the database/persistence unit.hulkmeister– hulkmeister2013-01-04 03:37:44 +00:00Commented Jan 4, 2013 at 3:37
- As a general rule I would say - use a database if you can, but if it becomes too slow, then resort to using the data structures. Data duplication (e.g. caching) is bad because you have to keep the two in sync, so avoid it unless you cannot.Job– Job2013-01-04 03:50:28 +00:00Commented Jan 4, 2013 at 3:50
- Send data to a database only to sort it? Like driving around the block to change your mind?user186205– user1862052016-04-06 16:31:32 +00:00Commented Apr 6, 2016 at 16:31

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
