Hi,

Ok, versioning adds a different requirement level, as it fails if the
version being updated has changed. I was looking for a situation where
updating 2 keys inside a JSONB field wouldn't lose one of them. Using
versioning it raises an exception when writing one of them (which is better
than the previous situation where it silently lost one of the updates, but
slightly worst than the update with synchronize_session if it would work
with inheritance). I'm assuming there's no other alternative?

Thanks in advance,
João
