Ltree has proven to be a really good way of materializing hierarchies for us.
For example, we are in M&E, and have a number of asset management systems that utilize ltree to associate assets with a project level (show.sequence.shot). Using the ltree extension, we are able to efficiently look up all the assets in a particular show, or sequence in the show, or shot,etc, without resorting to recursive joins, or the more cumbersome solutions (found for instance in Joe Celko's Trees and Hierarchies bool)
I myself would be interested to see this too. With Psono I'd like to explore alternative databases that allow a georedundant setup more easily and CockroachDB is sadly not possible as ltree doesn't work :(
Is Ltree still under consideration? It has been a useful feature with several companies to quickly select on a subset of a hierarchy.
Bumping this as a deciding factor to move to CRDB.
Also interested in this!
Bump as it’s a critical feature for us to consider CRDB. We love it and would like to use it. Any plans here?
