How to organize the structure of the citation?

Question

SQL

I am writing my first site, a quote book, and I have reached the most important point - in what form is it more convenient to store quotes on the server and issue them with maximum speed?
Is it suitable to use a SQL table consisting of id, quote, date, upvotes, downvotes, author, or is there an easier and faster way?
Bashorg took for the standard for himself personally.
Do not judge strictly, I just started.

Answer 1

Or is there an easier and faster way?

Where is it easier then?

Answer 2

I myself am new to web programming, but I will express an authoritative opinion from the couch. It is logical to start with a relational database. Then test the site with bots. Understand why doing eleven SQL queries per page is sinful. Then either add a caching layer so that the SQL database is accessed less often, or pick up a suitable NoSQL database. In the first case, in my opinion, "likes" and other frequently updated data will still have to be taken out of the relational database.
