    Database is organized collection of data, so a disk full of porn in different formats from json to mp4 can be a database, as long as it’s organized in some way

      Right? Organized, structured, same thing, or? A database can’t have no structure, right? I don’t even know how one would create such a database.

        What do you mean by “no structure”? Afaik mongodb does not enforce a schema in a collection by default

          Ah yes, mongo and document databases, forgot about those. Yeah those could be a pain to get data from if there’s no structure. 😅
