MongoID Data Type for TEXT
mongodb, mongoid
Solution
According to the mongoid documentation all fields are strings, unless we explicitly specify an other data types. Unlike `SQL's` `varchar` and `text` differences, strings in `mongo` have no limitation (the only limitation is that of the 16MB maximum document size) so there is no need to worry about size.
Problem
Whats the best option to use for MongoID data type for the regular MongoDB TEXT data type. Wondering why MongoID doesnt have a data type TEXT. is it okay to use STRING type and store large amounts of data. P.S coming from SQL background.
