Hi!
I'm studying Computer Science and I am italian. Actually I'm new to the
NoSQL world, have a little experience with Google App Engine
(DataStore/BigTable) and MongoDB… I need to create a social network website
for the university. Well, only the data model scheme. A little one, of
course. Nothing serious. The thing is, when someone visits the profile of
other people, I need to register that. I thought about modelling it like
this:
Track
- datetime: [as the key]
- visited_profile_id:
- visitor_id:
tracks: [{date_time: '', visited_profile_id: 1, visitor_id: 2}, {date_time:
'', visited_profile_id: 2, visitor_id: 2}, {date_time: '',
visited_profile_id: 3, visitor_id: 2}]
But it seemed very RDMS.
I thought then about:
Profile
- visitors: [a collection of keys]
profile: { visitors: [1, 2, 3], name: "Thiago", bio: "...", id: 10 }
It seemed more reasonable. But in the frontend sometimes I need to list all
the profiles I've visited, sometimes all the users that visited mine. Should
I then do something like:
Profile
- visitors: [collection of keys] // the profiles that visited me
- visited: [collection of keys] // the profiles I visited
profile: { visitors: [1, 2, 3], visited: [11, 15], name: "Thiago", bio:
"...", id: 10 }
So at the end it's like my first idea.
What's the best way to do that?
Thank you for your help!
Thiago.
