Hi, Adding JSON to SQLite (like in PostgreSQL) ultimately needs a JavaScript parser - and that seems to be against the goal of SQLite being slim. But what about adding a data type hash table, i.e. set of keyvalue pairs (also known as hstore, dictionary or associative array)? Would'nt this still

Got it, so this should work fine, so long as I'm careful to always re-add the collate functions to each database handle before accessing the table with that index. Cool, thanks! -david On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 1:16 PM, Simon Slavin slav...@bigfraud.org wrote: On 18 Jan 2015, at 8:29pm, David

We’ll probably look at providing a set of functions for handling JSON in SQLite, similarly to what POSTGRESQL is doing. But, to make it efficient, we need to index the JSON content. I suggested earlier this year to get expression based indexes, so one can index the result of a function like
