Schemaless SQL database for strong and lasting back end
- Schemaless structures maintain in the code
- Your documents stored as relational tables transparently
- Performance and efficiency of relational database
- Easier to maintain in the long term
- Consume much fewer resources (cheaper in the cloud)
Single document - code side
var doc = {
email: "[email protected]",
firstname: "Dwain",
lastname: "Jonhson",
username: "dwainjonhson"
};
doc.save();
collection("users").find({username: "dwainjonhson"});
/*
{
trid : 2, // auto id generation
email: "[email protected]",
firstname: "Dwain",
lastname: "Jonhson",
username: "dwainjonhson"
}
*/
Single document - Database side
> select * from users;
TRID EMAIL FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME USERNAME

Push your document in the database without any worries about restructuring them later. Made all the modifications that you didn't predict because wasn't part of the initial requirements. And do this afterward with the comfort of SQL. Finally, reduce the cloud cost due to the resource consumption involved with traditional NoSQL databases.
This concept allows you to code fast with your data objects as documents (like Mongodb) while benefiting transparently from the relational databases (like PostgreSQL) .
