You can see the first two posts in this series exploring MySQL’s JSON functionality with Storing JSON in Your Databases: Tips and Tricks For MySQL Part One and Storing JSON in Your Databases: Tips and Tricks For MySQL Part Two. Changing ActiveRecord’s dumping to SQL it’s not a big deal, but this would be a bit easier.Continuing our series on storing JSON directly within your database, we are now looking at the JSON functionality built into PostgreSQL. Some things can still be improved, like support for expression indexes. PostgreSQL is such a powerful database, and fortunately ActiveRecord is keeping up with these updates, introducing built-in support for features like jsonb and hstore. I wrote about hstore before, so check it out if you want to know more about it. The recommendation is that you stop using hstore in favor of jsonb just remember that you have to use PostgreSQL 9.4+ for this to work. With json/ jsonb columns you don’t have this problem numbers (integers/float), booleans, arrays, strings and nulls are accepted, and you can even nest structures in any way you want. Hstore columns don’t allow a nested structure they also store all values as strings, which will require type coercion on both database and application layers. Let’s check the query planner for reading on path without indexes.ĮXPLAIN SELECT * FROM users WHERE settings '. The difference comes when you try to query a path that have no index while the jsonb can have a GIN/GiST index on the whole column, that’s not possible with json columns. Read json (no index) 0.050000 0.040000 0.090000 (110.761944)Īs you can see, expression indexes have pretty much the same performance, so there’s no real gain here.

In this case, I used the following JSON structure:

So if you have software that relies on key ordering (really?) jsonb may not be the best choice for your application. This doesn’t happen on jsonb columns, as content is stored in binary format and no key ordering is guaranteed. It supports indexing, which means you can query any path without a specific index.Īnother difference is that json columns will reparse the stored value every time that means that key ordering will be same from the input.

jsonb stores a binary representation that avoids reparsing the data structure.

It doesn’t support indexes, but you can create an expression index for querying.

json stores an exact copy of the text input, which must be reparsed again and again when you use any processing function.

So, what are the differences between both column types? When you compare writing speed, jsonb will be slightly slower, due to the way data is stored. Understanding the differences between json and jsonb The advantage of using jsonb is that you can easily integrate relational and non-relation data, with performance that can be better than most non-relational databases like MongoDB. jsonb and json columns look exactly the same on a higher level, but differs on the storage implementation.

PostgreSQL 9.4 introduced jsonb, a new column type for storing documents in your relational database. Ler blog em Português Using PostgreSQL and jsonb with Ruby on Rails
