    Mysql / Mari can handle it too! Just use BLOB 🤣

      pg can actually query into json fields!

          • The performance is actually not bad. You’re far better off using conventional columns but in the one off cases where you have to store queryable JSON data, it actually performs quite well.

              Quite well is very subjective. It’s much slower than columns or specialized databases like MongoDB.

            Sure, if you use a field often it is most likely better to extract it into a column with auto-updates from the JSON data.

            But you have to tune it and see what is best for your use case. Just saying that you can add indexes to JSON fields as well!

          oh i didn’t know that. iirc postgres easily beats mongo in json performance which is a bit embarrassing.

            Holy, never knew, and never would expect. Postgres truly is king.
