Literature Review for MySQL College Project

[Nicholas Peyton]

Hello,

For my final year I.T. project, I opted to design and implement a MySQL database for a hypothetical utility company.

However, I still need to write a [literature review] for the project, by considering different DB technologies and justifying my choice of MySQL/relational system.

There is plenty of information online for "choosing the right database", but I'm not allowed to use any of it. I have to use academic or scholarly articles (i.e, Google Scholar).

Unfortunately, all my searches seem unfruitful. I mean there doesn't seem to be much official academic research out there that narrowly focuses on how to choose the best DB technology.

Is there anyone here who might be able to point me in the right direction?



Thanks,

Nick Peyton
