When to use CouchDB over MongoDB and vice versa

Question

I am stuck between these two NoSQL databases.

In my project, I will be creating a database within a database. For example, I need a solution to create dynamic tables.

So users can create tables with columns and rows. I think either MongoDB or CouchDB will be good for this, but I am not sure which one. I will also need efficient paging as well.

Answer 1

You should use CouchDB if you plan to have a mobile component, or need desktop users to work offline and then sync their work to a server. MongoDB should be used if your code will run only on the server.
