#Jsonb functions postgres how to
The following example shows how to use the PostgreSQL jsonb_insert() function to insert a key into a JSON object. All of these functions (JSONEXISTS(), JSONQUERY(), JSONVALUE()) only operate on JSONB.
If the specified path is not found in the JSONB value, the JSON value is not modified. If the path points to an array element, if insert_after is false (the default), the new value is inserted before the specified path, otherwise the new value is inserted after the specified path. The built-in ordered-set aggregate functions are listed in Table 9-51 and Table 9-52. The built-in normal aggregate functions are listed in Table 9-49 and Table 9-50. If the path points to an object field, the new value will only be inserted if the field does not exist in the object. Aggregate functions compute a single result from a set of input values. The PostgreSQL jsonb_insert() function returns the given JSONB value with the specified new value inserted at the specified path. That function may or may not be documented in its own right. Every operator has a function 'behind' it. Some operators are overloaded and will give more than one function, you have to look at the argument types to distinguish them. It indicates whether to insert after the specified position. This shows that the function is named 'jsonbexists'.
The first path in the array should contain the last path in the array. A text array indicating where new values are inserted. The JSONB value to insert the new value into. Since it's already JSONB, it doesn't require casting.Jsonb_insert ( target JSONB, path TEXT, new_value JSONB ) -> JSONB Parameters target If I wanted only the "inner" value from the sample dataset, I would specify select id, r.outer->'inner'. Be aware also that your JSON schema needs to be consistent: if an array element doesn't contain a key named "outer", the resulting value will be null.įrom here, you just need to pull the specific value you need out of each JSON object using the traversal operator as you were. If your array elements contain multiple fields you're interested in, you declare those in a similar manner. Note that you have to define what your new recordset looks like in the AS clause - since each element in our val array is a JSON object with a single field named "outer", that's what we give it. These are not very useful for text searching but allow, for example, unique indexes to be built on columns of these types. Join lateral jsonb_to_recordset(val) as r("outer" jsonb) on true In addition to these specialized operators, the usual comparison operators shown in Table 9.1 are available for types tsvector and tsquery. ]'),Ī simple lateral join query: select id, r.* When I pass the object literally to the function, it works fine: Here's my problem: I am trying to extract key values from an array of JSON objects in a column, using jsonb_to_recordset(), but get syntax errors. The aggregate functions arrayagg, jsonagg, jsonbagg, jsonobjectagg, jsonbobjectagg, stringagg, and xmlagg, as well as similar user-defined aggregate functions, produce meaningfully different result values depending on the order of the input. I have searched extensively (in Postgres docs and on Google and SO) to find examples of JSON functions being used on actual JSON columns in a table. The coalesce function can be used to substitute zero or an empty array for null when necessary.
