Idea: Use MongoDB instead of relational database

[2martens]

Since NoSQL databases in general and MongoDB in particular allow far more dynamic development, it should be looked at the possibility to use it.

Moreover it should be investigated if it is possible to use Doctrine in such a way that both relational databases and MongoDB are possible.

It does not make sense to support both paradigms. And MongoDB is just so much better than relational database systems, that it could easily save weeks of work.

The downside: On most webhosting scenarios it isn't possible to install MongoDB but a remote database connection might be possible. This downside is relatively low though, because hosting scenarios with shell access are not too expensive. Furthermore cheap virtual servers are within reach as well.
