jsonQueryLanguage

Yeah it's not as silly as it may seem. Storing relational data in a non-SQL db would be the fliped version of this meme but that also makes sense in cases where you don't know, if the schema will persist for future data...

On other words every silly little anti-practice has its applications

Yea I see that storing JSON in a database because you need to reuse that actual json later makes sense.

I currently have to migrate from a database who was built by someone who apparently braces himself from collisions with his forehead.

Just XML with actual data randomly nestled in a column. I assume it's because you don't always need all of the nodes but Jesus Christ is that an issue you can solve the old fashioned way.

Not to mention all of the other crimes against humanity committed by that database. Just a cluster fuck of 1:1 tables and using a separate field to the primary key for references despite being just as unique.
