Propose changing the user_metadata column type from text to jsonb in the user_metadata table.

[nnnLik]

Problem

Currently, the user_metadata column is stored as plain text (TEXT type), which:

1. Requires parsing/stringifying JSON for every read/write operation. Has worse performance
2. Doesn't provide native JSON validation at the database level

Solution

Changing the column type to jsonb would:

1. Provide native JSON support in PostgreSQL (As I know, mysql also supports json since v5.7)
2. Enable more efficient querying of nested metadata fields
3. Allow indexing specific metadata fields if needed
