SQL Databases Data Model: SQL databases […]

Schemas and MongoDB’s document-oriented structure

In MongoDB, a schema refers to the organization or structure of documents within a collection. Unlike traditional relational databases, MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data in a flexible, schema-less format called BSON (Binary JSON). MongoDB collections do not enforce a rigid, predefined schema, allowing documents within the same collection to have different fields. […]
