- deesix 10y agoYes, it's something we have on the roadmap. We will adjust priority based on the level of demand so thanks for your vote ;-) (disclaimer: I work on Cloud Spanner)
- brandmeyer 10y agoDumb question: Since strings are supported, couldn't you just store some JSON as a string? Or are you talking about supporting queries that involve parsing the JSON on the "server"?
- elvinyung 10y agoYeah, parent probably meant queryable JSON types, a la Postgres[1]. 1: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.htm...
- wcdolphin 10y agoNot dumb, I was being inexact. I was talking about Spanner understanding the semantics of JSON, similar to Postgre's JSONB or MYSQL's JSON.
- seangrogg 10y agoI think the OP was saying "dumb question" as in "I have a dumb question" rather than "this is a dumb question". At least that's the context I inferred.
