hi. drop table x; create table x(js jsonb); insert into x select '{"Hello world":1}'::jsonb; select pg_column_size(js) from x; -- return 33.
based on src/include/utils/jsonb.h The key and value part is 20 bytes (is it correct?), Jsonb->vl_len_ is 4 byte, JsonbContainer->header is 4 bytes. That's 28 bytes. but now on-disk is 33 bytes. so I am not sure where the remaining bytes are.
