I couldn't agree more about XML, JSON, <whatever it is next week> as far as
transport vs storage.

The only thing I can think of why you would store in JSON vs a RDB is
because it's "hip". Wow.. that made me sound older than I am.. haha.

I was referring to the technology preview regarding JSON:

That article is more about using the QSHELL command line interface, and /
or Java API for "retrieving" JSON-formatted data. But it sounds like the
storage of JSON documents in BLOB or CLOB fields hasn't changed much.

Frankly, I can't think of a good use case for "storing" JSON or XML
documents in IBM i database tables. JSON seems like a great format for data
interchange. But once the data arrives on IBM i, it seems that it would
work much better to extract the "data" from the document and store it in
normalized formats (tables, rows, columns).

So, I too would be interested in hearing about use-cases for storing JSON
documents in the database. Just to be like MongoDB? Why?
