Hi,
Is there any nice way to handle sum types (aka tagged unions) in a
PostgreSQL database? I've searched far and wide and have not reached any
satisfying answer.
As a (somewhat contrived) example, say I have the following enum in Rust:
enum TaggedUnion {
Variant1(String),
Variant2(i32),
Variant3(f64),
}
If there are no good methods of handling this, is there any way
PostgreSQL could be extended with capabilities for this? I have no idea
how this would be done in practice though. Perhaps SQL itself is just
unsuited for data of this kind? I don't really see why it should be though.
Composite type?:
