Yeah, the reason I was thinking of using mongo is because I have to write a simple posting app (i.e. allow for blog or twitter style posts with tags) so defining a relational schema seems like overkill to me. But I can't be sure.
To the parent: thanks for the edifying comment. I do have some experience with SQL and relational DBs, but was thinking of using noSQL for some projects. Your point to thoroughly learn the relational model is well taken.
- steveklabnik 16y agoKnowing the relational model is really important, but you're also going to have to unlearn it in order to do a good job with NoSQL. It's a totally different set of rules.
- foldr 16y agoEven here, you might be surprised by how limited some NoSQL stores are. E.g., if you have a requirement like "find the first 20 blog posts written by X after this date."
