      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.

            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.

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