查看PostgreSQL 9.2.1的源代码:
Source: postgresql-9.2.1\src\backend\utils\adt\json.c:
/*
* Input.
*/
Datum
json_in(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
char *text = PG_GETARG_CSTRING(0);
json_validate_cstring(text);
/* Internal representation is the same as text, for now */
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(cstring_to_text(text));
}
PostgreSQL 9.3.5更新:
在json函数中,代码已更改,但json内部表示仍为文本:
Source: postgresql-9.3.5\src\backend\utils\adt\json.c:
/*
* Input.
*/
Datum
json_in(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
char *json = PG_GETARG_CSTRING(0);
text *result = cstring_to_text(json);
JsonLexContext *lex;
/* validate it */
lex = makeJsonLexContext(result, false);
pg_parse_json(lex, &nullSemAction);
/* Internal representation is the same as text, for now */
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(result);
}
因此,似乎至少现在至少json与text数据类型相同,但具有JSON验证。 text数据类型的最大大小为1GB。
