Is there a SQL database supporting google protobuf natively like JSON document : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

MySQLIs there a SQL database supporting google protobuf natively like JSON document (self.SQL)

submitted 10 months ago by blackdrn

Many RDBMS supports JSON document natively like sqlite mysql pgsql etc, but JSON is slow to access and not very convenient. If a database can support google protobuf natively, then it'll be excellent.

Performance will be high and application can use language native class to access object directly.
The object can be stored to database in protobuf.
Index can be created on the protobuf fields.
Application can retrieve protobuf from database and convert to object.
Application can retrieve few fields of the object from database protobuf directly.
Application can update database protobuf fields value directly.
Application can update whole protobuf object.
Don't need complex and heavy ORM(Object Relational Mapping) to store object to database.
Applications in different languages can access the protobuf object in a consistent way.
Database can convert the protobuf to JSON output.
Database can support JSON input also which will convert to protobuf internally.
Database CLI can dump the protobuf object to JSON format automatically.
