postgresql Looping through JSONB array and performing SELECTs - sql

Question

I have jsonb in one of my table
the jsonb looks like this
my_data : [
{pid: 1, stock: 500},
{pid: 2, stock: 1000},
...
]
pid refers to products' table id ( which is pid )
EDIT: The table products has following properties: pid (PK), name
I want to loop over my_data[] in my JSONB and fetch pid's name from product table.
I need the result to look something like this (including the product names from the second table) ->
my_data : [
{
product_name : "abc",
pid: 1,
stock : 500
},
...
]
How should I go about performing such jsonb inner join?
Edit :- tried S-Man's solutions and i'm getting this error
"invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table \"jc\""

Answer 1

step-by-step demo:db<>fiddle
SELECT
jsonb_build_object( -- 5
'my_data',
jsonb_agg( -- 4
elems || jsonb_build_object('product_name', mot.product_name) -- 3
)
)
FROM
mytable,
jsonb_array_elements(mydata -> 'my_data') as elems -- 1
JOIN
my_other_table mot ON (elems ->> 'pid')::int = mot.pid -- 2
Expand JSON array into one row per array element
Join the other table against the current one using the pid values (notice the ::int cast, because otherwise it would be text value)
The new columns from the second table now can be converted into a JSON object. This one can be concatenate onto the original one using the || operator
After that recreating the array from the array elements again
Putting this in array into a my_data element
Another way is using jsonb_set() instead of step 5 do reset the array into the original array directly:
step-by-step demo:db<>fiddle
SELECT
jsonb_set(
mydata,
'{my_data}',
jsonb_agg(
elems || jsonb_build_object('product_name', mot.product_name)
)
)
FROM
mytable,
jsonb_array_elements(mydata -> 'my_data') as elems
JOIN
my_other_table mot ON (elems ->> 'pid')::int = mot.pid
GROUP BY mydata
