I've long struggled with NoSQL. My data is relational, and I've been long taught to normalize and de-dup my data, so how do I use this? I keep feeling like I'm missing the genius because I keep coming back to wishing I had a true relational table.

However, there have been times where being forced to define a schema has been painful. If our app has to store dynamic keys/values it all winds up as records in a relational db table acting like key/value store. Whereas in Mongo we can just store the document, without affecting the entire table schema.

I want the best of both worlds...
