I thinking about some simple API, that can be based on transformation to text. It can be enough for almost all. * text[] = record_to_array(record) * table(id, key, datatype, value) = record_to_table(record) * text = record_get_field(record, text) * record = record_set_field(record, text, anyelement) ??
