* Fix bogus optimization in JSONB containment tests.Tom Lane2014-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When determining whether one JSONB object contains another, it's okay to make a quick exit if the first object has fewer pairs than the second: because we de-duplicate keys within objects, it is impossible that the first object has all the keys the second does. However, the code was applying this rule to JSONB arrays as well, where it does *not* hold because arrays can contain duplicate entries. The test was really in the wrong place anyway; we should do it within JsonbDeepContains, where it can be applied to nested objects not only top-level ones. Report and test cases by Alexander Korotkov; fix by Peter Geoghegan and Tom Lane.
* Clean up jsonb code.Heikki Linnakangas2014-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main target of this cleanup is the convertJsonb() function, but I also touched a lot of other things that I spotted into in the process. The new convertToJsonb() function uses an output buffer that's resized on demand, so the code to estimate of the size of JsonbValue is removed. The on-disk format was not changed, even though I refactored the structs used to handle it. The term "superheader" is replaced with "container". The jsonb_exists_any and jsonb_exists_all functions no longer sort the input array. That was a premature optimization, the idea being that if there are duplicates in the input array, you only need to check them once. Also, sorting the array saves some effort in the binary search used to find a key within an object. But there were drawbacks too: the sorting and deduplicating obviously isn't free, and in the typical case there are no duplicates to remove, and the gain in the binary search was minimal. Remove all that, which makes the code simpler too. This includes a bug-fix; the total length of the elements in a jsonb array or object mustn't exceed 2^28. That is now checked.

* Introduce jsonb, a structured format for storing json.Andrew Dunstan2014-03-23
The new format accepts exactly the same data as the json type. However, it is stored in a format that does not require reparsing the orgiginal text in order to process it, making it much more suitable for indexing and other operations. Insignificant whitespace is discarded, and the order of object keys is not preserved. Neither are duplicate object keys kept - the later value for a given key is the only one stored. The new type has all the functions and operators that the json type has, with the exception of the json generation functions (to_json, json_agg etc.) and with identical semantics. In addition, there are operator classes for hash and btree indexing, and two classes for GIN indexing, that have no equivalent in the json type. This feature grew out of previous work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, which was intended to provide similar facilities to a nested hstore type, but which in the end proved to have some significant compatibility issues.
