Drupal and the rise of the Documents

It was a warm summer evening in ancient Greece, when one of the greatest philosopher of all times(guess who? :) gave birth to the Theory of Forms, greatly contributing to Ontology, eg the study of the nature of being, existence or reality as such.

An entity(from greek εἶναι, “to be”) may be defined as a thing which is recognized as being capable of an independent existence and which can be uniquely identified. An entity is an abstraction from the complexities of some domain. When we speak of an entity we normally speak of some aspect of the real world which can be distinguished from other aspects of the real world.

Who did just say “yeah but whattabout relationships...
A relationship captures how two or more entities are related to one another.

A quick look at Drupal’s system table
This is quite a good example from “Master how to hammer a screw vol. 666”: there must be a better solution!

It looks like an interesting compromise between performance, scalability and number of functionalities
Introducing MongoDB

Oh noes! Philosophy again!
Flexibility Power
Ease of useSpeed/Scaling
JSON documents provide a schema-less, rich data model that maps to native programming language types
A consistent set of RDBMS features implemented such as secondary indexes, dynamic queries, sorting, upserts, aggregation plus his own ones such as gridfs and map/reduce
Embedded documents help avoiding heavy joins, while auto sharding makes quick and easy to scale out the database
Installing, configuring, maintaining and using MongoDB are all kept as easy as possible: more time for your app, less for your server configuration
