The ability to partition/distribute an object is far detached from Postgres or an object-relational database. I'll be the first to admit I'm rusty on some of my college days of what a true object/relational database means, and while Postgres breeds itself as that more at its core is ACID[1] which focuses on both some of the relationship of the data and consistency between it. As things have evolved it hasn't actually given up on ACID or the relational nature as even with JSON you can have complex constraints and guarantees about your data. The Postgres community has simply applied a lot of the underlying principles to what has been build on top. [1] https://brandur.org/acid https://brandur.org/acid
