$session->sql("CREATE DATABASE addressbook")->execute();
$schema = $session->getSchema("addressbook");
$create = $schema->createCollection("people");
$create
->add('{"name": "Alfred", "age": 18, "job": "Butler"}')

        ["_id"]=>
        string(28) "00005b6b536100000000000000cf"
        ["age"]=>
        int(18)
        ["job"]=>
        string(6) "Butler"
        ["name"]=>
        string(6) "Alfred"
      }
    }
