Info

Let us never speak of this again. • There’s a lot to talk about in schemaless vs traditional relational databases. • But let’s not. • Today’s topic: If you want to store schemaless data in PostgreSQL, how can you? • And what can you expect?
What is schemaless data? • Schemaless does not mean unstructured. • Each “document” (=record/row) is a hierarchical structure of arrays and key- value pairs. • The application knows what to expect in one of these… • … and how to react if it doesn’t get it.
