Both Oracle and Postgres have pretty good support for json in SQL.

and the plane in the picture is perfectly capable of transporting a plane. What's your point?

JSON in the DB isn't an antipattern. It is frequently used in absolutely terrible designs but it is not itself a bad thing.

I'm a data architect and I approve this message.

Carrying the body of a smaller plane in a larger plane isn't an antipattern either. Airbus does this between body assembly and attaching the wings.

I think plane people call it a fusilage, because they're weird and like French.

It’s "fuselage".

It’s called like that because of it came from the word "forme fuselé" (Tapered shape) and it’s a french word mainly because we created it in 1908.

You’re welcome :-)

Why not use nosql if your important data is stored in JSON? You can still do all your fancy little joins and whatnot.

Turn it inside out. Why not use a RDBMS with a NoSQL bit added on the side?

Specifically so you get mature transactional guarantees, indices and constraints that let app developers trust your db.
