Hi All!

Does anybody has worked with json fields? 

We are planning to use json fields with very large text on it (the hierarchy of our json would be plain (only one level), we are doing some tests over 7MM records, it took like 1m30s to retrieve the information. In this case to get the information we used the function json.filter(name_of_field, '$..xxxx')

We have also tested using a TEXT field (and using some string functions) we parsed the information inside the field and we found that sometimes it was quicker it took from 1m30s to 35s. I dont know exactly why the difference on that delta.

We need to implement the processes, and need to decide how to move forward.... Does anybody can help me on the decision ???

We know and is a fact, that Monet can beat any DB in terms of performance, and that is why we decided to use it, but now Im worried about this type of queries (against json/text fields) and how long this queries would take if we increase the amount of records....

What would you suggest ??

Thanks in advance!
