Want schema-less SQL? Use an EAV (entity-attribute-value) schema.

Exactly what you are getting! But without having to code, optimize and maintain your own EAV structure and API.
Pretty good approach provided you don't want to query your data.
So right. It is VERY difficult to query a hand-rolled EAV structure. Kinda like editing a binary image with a text editor, lol. Please check out some of the demo queries. Hope you think it's as slick as we do.
