  # JSON columns in mariadb are listed as longtext, so we need to check
  # the constraint checks to find out if the column was created as json.
  # Based on this detection we will hack the type so rails will handle
  # values properly as json values.
  # INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS is only support on > 10.4 mariadb
  # so we use object manager attributes table now to detect them.
