I guess there are always those oddball cases, but if you choose MongoDB 
then you already know the consequences that it couldn't be as easily 
unit-tested. And in any case, it is generally a bad idea to unittest 
with a database that contains 100 million items, that's for performance 
testing. So your point is?
