You still have to worry about data migrations without a schema though. Unless you just never access old records.

Depends.

Let's say you have an object called box.

It has 3 properties, the id, it's name and it's weight.

4 months later you add a 4th property. Cost, odd records that don't have a cost just return null for that field.
