When you find that some devs decided that UserProfile.description:String entity field requires a CLOB data type.........

It was probably 4 GIGgles.

When your description object is a large binary character object. E.g: an enormous encoded json of the description object which includes many operational transformation states, wrangled data objects with many keys and arrays with thousands of netsed objects.

@bioDan Why is "description" an object in a first place....?

@netikras because its a nested component that allows multiple users to edit, with versioning, the same description of a user profile, add html elements and upload pdf, docz, xlsx, pptx and other formats, parse those files and give a text and image output into the description.
All this is minified into a clob json which is UserProfile.description

@bioDan oh boi...

@netikras yes my friend, i have very similar battle scars 👴
