Converted data types
Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
A converted data type is a type that is being converted to some user data structure, which can be independent of any data structures from the database. There are tons of use-cases for converted data types:
- To attach more semantic types to certain primitives, e.g.
Emailinstead of justString(see also DOMAIN types to do this directly within the database) - To increase type safety, and to avoid comparing two seemingly related types (
VARCHARandVARCHAR), which aren't really comparable (e.g.EmailandUsername) - To work with libraries instead of raw data, e.g. JAXB or Jackson bindings instead of raw XML types or raw JSON types or GeoTools or JTS instead of jOOQ's simple GEOMETRY type
