[01:11:49] <HairIsRippedOut> Hey, has anyone ever had the pleasure of putting a keyfile parameter into a MongoDB INI file?
[12:49:10] <srandon111> hello all guys i have always used relational databases... and at school learned design rules for relational databases... such as normal forms and stuff like that... how can i learn how to design nosql database document oriented as mongo?
[14:01:48] <GothAlice> srandon111: https://www.javaworld.com/article/2088406/enterprise-java/how-to-screw-up-your-mongodb-schema-design.html is a summary.
[14:03:00] <GothAlice> Understanding the constraints of the system you are attempting to use is critical. E.g. while yes, you can "store JSON", accessing (filtering) or manipulating multiple arrays within a single document basically isn't possible, so ensure you restrict yourself to arrays that are independent, e.g. will not ever be filtered or updated simultaneously.
[14:05:03] <GothAlice> "Identifying documents is key." Relational: Forum ↔︎ Thread ↔︎ Reply. MongoDB: Forum ↔︎ Thread(Reply) — that is, all replies are stored within the thread. One array is manageable, and a 16MB limit would require the users gang together to write a 120 chapter novel within one thread. … which won't happen.
