Query goal: | Find columns with JSON, JSONB, or XML type. Each columns should have the most appropriate data type. |
Notes about the query: | The query finds information about base tables (including foreign tables), views, and materialized views. One has to find information about materialized views directly from the system catalog base tables because materialized views are not standardized in the SQL standard (as of SQL:2016) and the information is not presented through the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views. Query returns also information about columns that properties have been specified through a domain. |
