My reason asking is because there are other scheme I feel are more adequate for non relational data, but this isn't my domain and I barely dabbled in that, so that's worth absolutely nothing.

But your point about the data being used later makes a lot of sense and I didn't think about that. Down the road, someone will ask you to create links to your data and if you already have a DB, then you don't have to change the whole infrastructure to accommodate that. You can create new schemes and already have a somewhat functional access to it.

Thanks for the input.
