I'd limit mongo to a subset of relational db. think of mongo as the 
black knight from Holy Grail.

I'm preping to talk to a real estate title authority.  they have 
60+years of title info in the area and it is all held in informix. they 
generate reports on the fly (hence base) and would like to be able to 
add information on properties incrementally without always rewriting the 
schema and go through the database conversion.

Yes, there may some legal reasons why they can't do this but htat is why 
er are talking.

personally, I am an order of magnitude more effective with mongo than 
any sql database.  mongo maps better to my mind than sql.  I'd like a 
base connection so I can be more effective in my ad-hoc db tools
