The problem is when people pick Mongodb thinking they can use it like a SQL database. I've been using Mongodb since v1.6. You have to use it differently then a SQL database. The way you design your schema and code needs to change also. Its just a different way of thinking about a database. When you use Mongodb you treat the db like a dumb black box. You design in data integrity into your code. One of the big reasons you use Mongodb is because you don't need an ORM. Your POCOs are the tables. People that say they lost data while using Mongodb. Were using Mongodb wrong.
