Re^4: key value in text format

The link method to handle key/value pair is a good idea. but I think I might just go with JSON (column) for all key/value pairs. What is the trade-off between the two approaches?

Searchability. using a linked table, you can do `SELECT * FROM main_data WHERE ROWID IN ( SELECT link_id FROM extra_data WHERE key1 = ? AND value1 LIKE ? )` [download] Consider also: do you want to put a storage method (JSON) inside a different storage method (SQL)?	[reply] [d/l]

Modern databases understand JSON and can search inside the structure, see e.g. MariaDB or PostgreSQL. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Modern databases understand JSON and can search inside the structure But is that as efficient as "classic" scalar datatypes, like strings or integers? Any benchmarks?
