Hi I am new to Dgraph, I wanted to store the data of a custom table where the user can give N number of fields that should be stored in a single predicate. How can I achieve this in Dgraph
thank you !
Hi @teja! Welcome to Dgraph!
Can you tell me how does your data look like? Is it always the same N fields?
One way would be to store a JSON object as the value for the given predicate. But you would not be able to do any meaningful indexing with that on inner values.
Yes, I would prefer to store it as a JSON Object, since I am not looking to index this predicate .
for this, should I use the type as default or else do I need to convert the object to string ?
From the docs, Dgraph will try to infer the type.
Dgraph automatically detects the data type of its predicates. You can see the auto-detected data types using the Ratel UI.
Though you can put it as string while defining the schema just to be sure.
