I apologize for being short with you in my previous response. I need to be better about assuming good faith.

Your response seems to betray a certain ignorance of mongo. Don't you realize that mongo has indexes?

For handling documents, this blog post covers the topic in some depth.

Might I suggest you actually use mongo on a project before engaging further on the topic. It clearly has had a lot more thought put into it in the context of json documents.

If postgres works great for your use cases, great, go be happy with the tool.

Definitely a better solution than the brick wall he hit. Complicated beastie. I can see the appeal if you just love, eat, and breath SQL.

But a query language within a query language feels bolted onto something alien to do something pretty basic. Pass. If I'm teaching this to new engineers, pass also.
