You're spending way too much time arguing about the format of the database. The ideal format looks like: integer id way geometry attributes hstore Then you insert as: VALUES ( 3029222, 'LINESTRING(....)', 'key=>value, key=>value, ...' ); Sure, it needs postgres, but now you have ONE index for each column and you can search on keys/values without being restricted to ascii characters... So its efficient and lossless...
