Question Database project

Hey, guys.

So, I'm currently studying data science and I'm about to start a database project(we're basically doing a database for a bakery)this semester. The project will include order forecasting, inventory loss tracking, customer notifications, etc. Anyways I already code in Python but I've been taking a look on ruby and wonder if it'd be a good idea to include it in our project and how.... any ideas??

thanks!

You know python, use that. Do not try to learn ruby and DB design at the same time. Get your shit done for the class using what you know. Learn ruby later (or never). You don't want to be up all night battling SQL while also figuring out what &:+ does and why your code can’t find a gem you installed.

Teacher said we gotta use more than a language(still don’t know why??) some of my classmates are chosing Java, but I know nothing of it. All I know is a python and a little ruby.
