Using DHIS Data Store

Hi All,

We are thinking of leveraging the existing DHIS Data Store to store specific data related to our application. We have used api/dataStore end-point and were able to save/retrieve the data successfully.

We are bit apprehensive with regard to size of data being stored. Any suggestions from current users of this functionality please?

What is the maximum size one can store in the ‘value’ column of data store?

Thanks

Aamer.

Hi Aamer,

we are backing the value field with a “text” column in the database, so on postgres the max size is around 2 GB.

We do parse the value to JSON for the response which has some overhead so you will have to test whether such large values will perform adequately for your use-case.

best regards,

Lars
