Connect the roles in JSONB and Structured DocumentsKeep jsonb value, document structure, gin index, and query predicate as separate roles.
Connect the roles in JSONB and Structured DocumentsA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about jsonb and structured documents.
JSONB dataData stores vendor-specific device attributes
Document layoutLayout preserves nested object structure
Index recordTable map records searchable document values
Query conditionDecision tests document keys and values
Verify Document validationConnect document validation with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected database boundary.
