add a jsonfield column of type jsonb to every table by default

Thanks! This will be useful!

This feature request is ready to be merged in. Just ping me about the not NULL constraints and I'll pull it in.

[musically-ut]

Is the removal of the not-NULL constraint artifacts from the PR about the Foreign keys? Is it needed for adding JSON fields?

[madtibo]

Yes, it was definitely an artefact!
It is now corrected.

[musically-ut]

I've tested this and merged it into the branch feat-postgresql-9.4. I don't think that PostgreSQL 9.3 (the last supported version) supports jsonb field-type but I haven't verified it.

In any case, as the EOL of 9.3 is this very month, I will merge it in as soon as 9.3 becomes unsupported.

Thanks!

[madtibo]

You are right, jsonb is a 9.4 feature.
great that everything is functional :-)

[madtibo]

@musically-ut 9.3 is now unsupported, could we merge this PR now?

[musically-ut]

Thanks for the ping, merged! \o/
