title: How can I combine Schema and noSchema with Mongoose?
body: <p>I know I have to define <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5370846/how-do-you-use-mongoose-without-defining-a-schema/5372553#5372553">Schema's in Mongoose</a>, but I have a case where I'm connecting to a MongoDB via</p>
  
  <pre><code>dsn = "mongodb://#{config.database.username}:#{config.database.password}@#{config.database.host}/{config.database.name}"
  mongoose.connect(dsn, (err) -&gt; throw err if err)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And most of my writes will be using Models the way I'm supposed to. But there is this one read that I have to do from a Collection and it's Schema-less. Meaning, it's unprocessed data that was stored by another process. How can I successfully read from that then write to other collections using my Schemas?</p>
  
  <p>If I use mongoose, can I not do this?</p>
