            <title>[SERVER-8916] Is there a tool to help with drawing out and documenting the Schema.</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-8916</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Wondering if there is a tool with which I can represent the schema of my application DB similar to an ERD. Would be useful as a means of specifying what the schema is and communicating same.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I think I understand the flexibility offered and can see the major advantages of that flexibility in the schema (which is the reason I am choosing MongoDB).. &lt;br/&gt;

                            <comment id="284688" author="scotthernandez" created="Fri, 8 Mar 2013 21:05:11 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;Cormac, these types of questions are best asked in the mongodb-user forum (&lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user&lt;/a&gt;) where users can help answer and many answers already exist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are two (possibly) related discussions: &lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/a31d8607d4b0c900&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/a31d8607d4b0c900&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/c590b0126d3a794e&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/c590b0126d3a794e&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many people model schema at their language with domain-objects and entities rather than at the database; there are many tools which work well there already which are independent of the persistent technology.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="284548" author="norberto@10gen.com" created="Fri, 8 Mar 2013 18:18:44 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=cormackeogh%40hotmail.com&quot; class=&quot;user-hover&quot; rel=&quot;cormackeogh@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;cormackeogh@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt; the best tool for modeling mongodb schema is your application. &lt;br/&gt;
This is one of the big differences when moving away from relational databases to mongodb, there is no schema till you find one. This actually means your application, as it evolves, the database structures evolve with it so you do not need a ERD.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your question is more related &quot;how can I model my schema for mongodb?&quot; there are a couple of things we should look at:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Access patterns
	&lt;ul&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;How my applications stores an retrieves data from the database&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Update data
	&lt;ul&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;How do my data structures change&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Look for unbounded arrays&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Polymorphism and hierarchy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;p&gt;among others. &lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Let me check with an SA and get back to you. &lt;br/&gt;
Thanks&lt;br/&gt;
