"Because it is schema less ... you can trivially add new rich schemas" made me lol. Maybe this makes sense to Mongo users, but I have no idea what you mean here and the language you use to describe this feature is, well, contradictory to say the least.

Actually it does seem contradictory reading back on it. I meant it doesn't have a fixed, enforced schema like SQL databases and it is easy to add new data structures e.g. lists, maps, sets.

it means a typo in release-15 auto-creates a whole new database without anyone noticing and you sit around and wonder where all of the data went yesterday.
Oh man, the memories.
Just today I enjoyed explaining to a developer why his insert into a timestamp failed because of formatting, with a nice english error message. Thanks Postgres!
Whereas the same thing last year with Mongo just inserted the wrong date into a misspelled key and we didn't figure it out for days.
