I'm being silly. In all seriousness, you might like Mongo after the dataset becomes too large for text files. It's an easier jump to NoSQL than to a relational schema. What you gain is that the computer doesn't have to pick up and look at every item of data, as database logic lets it do lookups efficiently using database tech

Indexes and fast query engines are easy to write. Using plain text files backed by git via ScrollSets is the future. Binary storage engines were needed before fast SSDs, git, et cetera, but for 99.9% of people ScrollSets will be a better choice.

You do need all the features from SQL (joins, indexes, foreign keys, etc), but we'll add all that as we go, all while keeping your data completely pristine.
