Details

Uses RPostgres as backend. nodbi creates or uses a PostgreSQL table, with columns ⁠_id⁠ and json created and used by package nodbi, applying SQL functions as per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-json.html to the json column. Each row in the table represents a JSON document. Any root-level ⁠_id⁠ is extracted from the document(s) and used for column ⁠_id⁠, otherwise a UUID is created as ⁠_id⁠. The table is indexed on ⁠_id⁠. A custom plpgsql function is used for docdb_update(). The order of variables in data frames returned by docdb_get() and docdb_query() can differ from their order the input to docdb_create(). For a benchmark, see https://github.com/ropensci/nodbi#benchmark

A nodbi source object
