Hi I've noted an increased interest from many DHIS users to store, deliver, and search source documents (policy, annual performance plans, and similar) in an integrated manner - for instance, a recent Request for Proposals for the Office of Standards Compliance in SA outlined a integrated data & document system.
PostgreSQL 9.4 is now 2-3 weeks from final release, and the main new feature is the new JSONB data type, ref PG Wiki: "With the new JSONB data type for PostgreSQL, users no longer have to choose between relational and non-relational data stores: they can have both at the same time. JSONB supports fast lookups and simple expression search queries using Generalized Inverted Indexes (GIN). Multiple new support functions enables users to extract and manipulate JSON data, with a performance which matches or surpasses the most popular document databases. With JSONB, table data can be easily integrated with document data for a fully integrated database environment." Has any other DHIS development or user team considered how to integrate documents into their overall DHIS system?
