Group of mongo DB documents is called a collection. It is same as RDBMS table. It limit within one single database. Document in the collection are related to each other or it is of similar type. There is nothing like schema in collections.

Document

A document is a set of key-value pairs. Documents have dynamic schema. Dynamic schema means that documents in the same collection do not need to have the same set of fields or structure, and common fields in a collection's documents may hold different types of data.

A set of key value pair is called a Document. It contains dynamics schema which means the documents with same collection does not need to have the same set of fields or structure it can hold data with different types.

Advantages of Mongo DB over RDBMS

· Schema less

· Structure of a single object is clear

· No complex joins

· Deep query-ability. We can write dynamic query.

· Tuning

· Mongo DB is easy to scale

· Uses internal memory for storing the (windowed) working set, enabling faster access of data
