Beyond jsonb: a generalized, unstructured data type for Postgres
- SigmundA 6y agoI always thought they should have done a hstore2 which was hierarchical and supported all of PostgreSQL datatypes which then could have supported json on top of that. Json is so limiting without dates and binary types among others, I'm glad jsonb is there but it could have been so much more. One day we will all agree on hierarchical data model that supports a good set of datatypes, one can hope at least.
- zamalek 6y agoWhat we do for binary in JSON, is store it out-of-band. In the DB that would be a dedicated table, on the wire it's MIME.
