One of the big marketing points for document databases is their ability to handle "unstructured data." I won't go as far as saying that's something that doesn't exist, but the _vast_ majority of data described this way is data whose structure is unknown to the person considering doing something with it. The data itself has structure, but they do not know what it is when they get started - usually a prerequisite for creating the data store. On rare occasions, there may be data sets with several structures mixed together in the same set; even in these data sets, though, the cacophony usually turns out to be a finite set of structures, mixed inconsistently.

Keep that in mind as we look at some of the trade-offs between document and relational databases. Just as your body needs its skeletal structure against which your muscles and organs can work, your data _has_ structure. Document databases do not abstract that away.
