Like I've argued before, you have a schema. Your app cares about the location and format of the data. You're only deciding whether or not you want to write down your schema and use it to catch mistakes.

Like I've argued before, with NoSQL you have many schemas -- one for every change (unless you delete all the data after every schema change). In SQL, you have one schema -- which is much easier to work with even when you're just doing early spec development.
