PGSQL Phriday #005

Invitation from Ryan Lambert and summary post of all submissions

Ryan is a🧙 with PostGIS and OpenStreetMap data, and an all around awesome person, too! It didn’t surprise me to see that he would choose something around mapping or non-relational data and how it’s used in Postgres. The challenge listed from his invitation post is below.

Please consider contributing a blog on February 3, 2023. See the rules in Ryan’s invitation post or check out the “Bloggers” section of the rules page.


The challenge

How are you using Postgres? For relational data only, a mix of relational and non-relational, or primarily non-relational data?

  • What non-relational data do you store in Postgres and how do you use it?
  • Have you attempted non-relational uses of Postgres that did not work well? What was the problem?
  • What are the biggest challenges with your data, whatever its structure?
  • Bonus: How do you define non-relational data?
