Could you explain what you mean by "Schema-On-Need"? I can just get start using a database with no schema, but I assume Schema-on-Need is different from that.

- david927 11y agoIn the example above, if Employees are only in one Department and suddenly you have the situation where an employee is in more than one department, you don't need to create a link table to model that. In other words, you don't need to think, "Is this a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many relationship?" before you start, it can just emerge as you go.
