What is it?

PostgreSQL supports arrays of any type, JSONB for indexed JSON, UUID, range types, and network address types.

Why does it matter?

PostgreSQL's rich types eliminate workarounds. A PHP array column is one field; MySQL requires a separate table.

Q: JSON vs JSONB in PostgreSQL?

JSON: stores as text — fast writes, preserves whitespace. JSONB: binary — faster queries, supports GIN indexes. Use JSONB for queried data.
