Characteristics of mongodb database (including database field design for comments and likes)

The biggest difference between mongo and traditional databases is:

Traditional database: structured data, after determining the table structure, the content of each row must be in line with the table structure, that is to say-the number of columns, the type is the same.

Mongo document database: each document under the table can have its own unique structure (json objects can have their own unique properties and values)

Idea: if there is a movie, film review, film review reply, reply score

In the traditional database, at least 4 tables are needed, and the correlation degree is very complex.

In the document database, it can be completed through 1 document. It reflects the anti-normalization of the document database.
