"static" RDBMS support JSON columns which can store arbitrary shaped data.


That's part way there, but I see at least two problems: 1st you treat "regular" columns different than dynamic columns, and have to change your SQL if you switch which "type" it is, and second, it's hard to index a blob of text well. Dynamic relational wouldn't have these issues (if done right). Marking a column to be permanent is like adding a constraint rather than changing container "type".
