I did some tests. it generally looks like:
create or replace function random_text() returns text
as $$select string_agg(md5(random()::text),'') from
generate_Series(1,8) s $$ LANGUAGE SQL;
DROP TABLE if exists s;
create table s(a jsonb);
INSERT INTO s SELECT (
'{"id": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"type": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"title": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"original_title": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"is_adult": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"start_year": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"end_year": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"minutes": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"genres": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"aliases": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"genres": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"directors": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"writers": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"ratings": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"director_name": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"alias_title": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"alias_region": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"director_birth_year": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"director_death_year": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"rating_average": "' || random_text() || '",'
'"rating_votes": "' || random_text() || '"'
||'}' )::jsonb
FROM generate_series(1, 1e6);
SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_table_size('s')); -- 5975 MB
It's less complex than Tomas's version.
attached, 3 test files:
1e5 rows, each key's value is small. Total table size is 598 MB.
1e6 rows, each key's value is small. Total table size is 5975 MB.
27 rows, total table size is 5066 MB.
The test file's comment is the output I extracted using
pg_log_backend_memory_contexts,
mainly ExecutorState and surrounding big number memory context.
Conclusion, I come from the test:
if each json is big (5066 MB/27) , then it will take a lot of memory.
if each json is small(here is 256 byte), then it won't take a lot of
memory to process.
Another case, I did test yet: more keys in a single json, but the
value is small.
