Data Type Mapping

SingleStore Kai natively supports the BSON data type for storage.

Note

The BSON type and BSON-specific functions must only be used for directly querying tables created by SingleStore Kai using SQL.

BSON Type Conversion

  • For all BLOB/string to BSON casting, SingleStore interprets the source as raw BSON bytes.

  • For JSON to BSON casting, SingleStore converts the JSON data according to the MongoDB® Extended JSON V2 format (Relaxed or Canonical).

  • BSON can be casted to JSON using the :>JSON notation. This conversion is performed in the MongoDB® Extended JSON V2 Relaxed format.

The following table maps SingleStore data types to the corresponding BSON data types :
