You are not getting the point. If it’s stored in the DB as a character / clob, how do you want to do indexed searches on properties of the JSON object? It’s not possible, unless there is a special data type with special handling – right in the DB. Or do you still deny the existence of a real overhead when you need to go through 100.000 records (sequentially), build JSON objects from string data and compare a property from the JSON object with a value?

The only piece I am unsure about ... and mind you, it is unsure, not active opposition ... is the need for a special JSON datatype vs stuffing the JSON in a CLOB. If one sends it over the wire, one is just sending character data ... it happens to be in a format which is useful to the destination without special parsing. Here, one is in the context of paying the price of a disk read, so a little ABL overhead is minor and can't one parse a longchar into a JSON object ready for use with one line of code? So, where is the advantage? Stop receiving emails on this subject. Flag this post as spam/abuse.
