title: Can I use NativeScript to read and write from a database in app?
body: <p>I want to use NativeScript to build my apps. But I'm a bit confused by what backend approach I should use.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a simple CRUD app, that writes to a DB like MySQL or postgresql. Should I a build a backend api service to carry out my CRUD operations using something like express/node stack? or should the app itself perform the CRUD operations using NativeScript? </p>
  
  <p>I would like to make the NativeScript app itself perform the CRUD operations it self as I feel creating a backend service for a simple CRUD app might be overkill. But I'm not sure if NativeScript is able to perform CRUD services to a DB like MySQL for user auths etc.</p>
