// Scan scans bytes into Properties
func (i *Properties) Scan(value interface{}) error {
        buf, ok := value.([]byte)
    if !ok {
        return errors.New("Bytes expected")
    }
<snip actual unmarshal code>
}

// Value marshals value to bytes
func (i *Properties) Value() (driver.Value, error) {
       var buf = []byte
    <snip marshal code that write to buf>
    return buf, err
}

// Profile - DB representation for profile
type Profile struct {
    Properties *Properties `sql:"not null" gorm:"size:32000"`
