Any examples in Postgres to create a dictionary type to store and access key value pairs?


I'd say JSONB can be used as an associative array, and e.g. in Python can map to dict data type.

The question confuses me.  Why isn't "create a table with Primary Key" the answer to "Any examples in Postgres to create a dictionary type to store and access key value pairs?"


Well, yes - you can always decompose the dict and store it in an EAV, but sometimes it's more convenient to just use "nested" dictionary at the row level. Which is what a JSONB column does.
