Why aren't they getting a lot of use? Is it because they're new or ORMs don't have them yet? (Note: This might sound like a false dichotomy but these are the only 2 reasons I know so feel free to add more reasons.)
- craigkerstiens 12y agoHstore is definitely an odd one in that it's an extension so sort of core, sort of not. Other's its likely just that people default to what the ORM does. Hstore actually sees 13% usage across production databases on Heroku, so while something I'd still consider it much lower than what it probably should be.
- yen223 12y agoBecause these are Postgres-specific features I think. I suspect that for a lot of developers, the only database features they use are the ones their ORM of choice supports. The popular ORMs out there tend to be database-agnostic, which means they'll only natively support the lowest-common-denominator database features.
