Assume I am using PG 9.3 and I have a post table with a json column 'meta_data':
Example content of the json column 'meta_data'
{
"content": "this is a post body",
"comments": [
{
"user_id": 1,
"content": "hello"
},
{
"user_id": 2,
"content": "foo"
},
{
"user_id": 3,
"content": "bar"
}
]
}
How can I find all the posts where the user_id = 1 from the comments array from the meta_data column?
I'm almost positive I'm implementing this incorrectly but try this
select *
from posts
where id in (
select id from (
select id,
json_array_elements(meta_data->'comments')->'user_id' as user_id
from posts
) x
where cast(user_id as varchar) = '1'
);
There's probably an array operator like #> that will remove the need for the nested select statements but I can't seem to get it to work right now.
Let me know if this is going down the correct track, I'm sure we could figure it out if required.

I have a table "blobs" with a column "metadata" in jsonb data-type,
Example:
{
"total_count": 2,
"items": [
{
"name": "somename",
"metadata": {
"metas": [
{
"id": "11258",
"score": 6.1,
"status": "active",
"published_at": "2019-04-20T00:29:00",
"nvd_modified_at": "2022-04-06T18:07:00"
},
{
"id": "9251",
"score": 5.1,
"status": "active",
"published_at": "2018-01-18T23:29:00",
"nvd_modified_at": "2021-01-08T12:15:00"
}
]
}
]
}
I want to identify statuses in the "metas" array that match with certain, given strings. I have tried the following so far but without results:
SELECT * FROM blobs
WHERE metadata is not null AND
(
SELECT count(*) FROM jsonb_array_elements(metadata->'metas') AS cn
WHERE cn->>'status' IN ('active','reported')
) > 0;
It would also be sufficient if I could compare the string with "status" in the first array object.
I am using PostgreSQL 9.6.24
for some clarity I usually break code into series of WITH statements. My idea for your problem would be to use json path (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/functions-json.html#FUNCTIONS-SQLJSON-PATH) and function jsonb_path_query.
Below code gives a list of counts, I will leave the rest to you, to get final data.
I've added ID column just to have something to join on. Otherwise join on metadata.
Also, note additional " in where condition. Left join in blob_ext is there just to have null value if metadata is not present or that path does not work.
with blob as (
select row_number() over()"id", * from (VALUES
(
'{
"total_count": 2,
"items": [
{
"name": "somename",
"metadata": {
"metas": [
{
"id": "11258",
"score": 6.1,
"status": "active",
"published_at": "2019-04-20T00:29:00",
"nvd_modified_at": "2022-04-06T18:07:00"
},
{
"id": "9251",
"score": 5.1,
"status": "active",
"published_at": "2018-01-18T23:29:00",
"nvd_modified_at": "2021-01-08T12:15:00"
}
]
}
}
]}'::jsonb),
(null::jsonb)) b(metadata)
)
, blob_ext as (
select bb.*, blob_sts.status
from blob bb
left join (
select
bb2.id,
jsonb_path_query (bb2.metadata::jsonb, '$.items[*].metadata.metas[*].status'::jsonpath)::character varying "status"
FROM blob bb2
) as blob_sts ON
blob_sts.id = bb.id
)
select bbe.id, count(*) cnt, bbe.metadata
from blob_ext bbe
where bbe.status in ('"active"', '"reported"')
group by bbe.id, bbe.metadata;
A way is to peel one layer at a time with jsonb_extract_path() and jsonb_array_elements():
with cte_items as (
select id,
metadata,
jsonb_extract_path(jx.value,'metadata','metas') as metas
from blobs,
lateral jsonb_array_elements(jsonb_extract_path(metadata,'items')) as jx),
cte_metas as (
select id,
metadata,
jsonb_extract_path_text(s.value,'status') as status
from cte_items,
lateral jsonb_array_elements(metas) s)
select distinct
id,
metadata
from cte_metas
where status in ('active','reported');
Column data is jsonb
SELECT
json_agg(shop_order)
FROM (
SELECT data from shop_order
WHERE data->'contacts'->'customer'->>'phone' LIKE '%1234567%' LIMIT 3 OFFSET 3
) shop_order
and here result as array:
[
{
"data": {
"id": 211111,
"cartCount": 4,
"created_at": "2020-10-28T12:58:33.387Z",
"modified_at": "2020-10-28T12:58:33.387Z"
}
}
]
Nice. But... I need to hide node data.
The result must be
[
{
"id": 211111,
"cartCount": 4,
"created_at": "2020-10-28T12:58:33.387Z",
"modified_at": "2020-10-28T12:58:33.387Z"
}
]
Is it possible?
you should be able to perform a second select on the result. then specificaly select data
SELECT (result->>'data') as result,
FROM result

I'm trying to merge some nested JSON arrays without looking at the id. Currently I'm getting this when I make a GET request to /surveyresponses:
{
"surveys": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "survey 1",
"isGuest": true,
"house_id": 1
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "survey 2",
"isGuest": false,
"house_id": 1
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "survey 3",
"isGuest": true,
"house_id": 2
}
],
"responses": [
{
"question": "what is this anyways?",
"answer": "test 1"
},
{
"question": "why?",
"answer": "test 2"
},
{
"question": "testy?",
"answer": "test 3"
}
]
}
But I would like to get it where each survey has its own question and answers so something like this:
{
"surveys": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "survey 1",
"isGuest": true,
"house_id": 1
"question": "what is this anyways?",
"answer": "test 1"
}
]
}
Because I'm not going to a specific id I'm not sure how to make the relationship work. This is the current query I have that's producing those results.
export function getSurveyResponse(id: number): QueryBuilder {
return db('surveys')
.join('questions', 'questions.survey_id', '=', 'surveys.id')
.join('questionAnswers', 'questionAnswers.question_id', '=', 'questions.id')
.select('surveys.name', 'questions.question', 'questions.question', 'questionAnswers.answer')
.where({ survey_id: id, question_id: id })
}
Assuming jsonb in current Postgres 10 or 11, this query does the job:
SELECT t.data, to_jsonb(s) AS new_data
FROM t
LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
SELECT jsonb_agg(s || r) AS surveys
FROM (
SELECT jsonb_array_elements(t.data->'surveys') s
, jsonb_array_elements(t.data->'responses') r
) sub
) s ON true;

I unnest both nested JSON arrays in parallel to get the desired behavior of "zipping" both directly. The number of elements in both nested JSON arrays has to match or you need to do more (else you lose data).
This builds on implementation details of how Postgres deals with multiple set-returning functions in a SELECT list to make it short and fast. See:
What is the expected behaviour for multiple set-returning functions in select clause?
One could be more explicit with a ROWS FROM expression, which works properly since Postgres 9.4:
SELECT t.data
, to_jsonb(s) AS new_data
FROM tbl t
LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
SELECT jsonb_agg(s || r) AS surveys
FROM ROWS FROM (jsonb_array_elements(t.data->'surveys')
, jsonb_array_elements(t.data->'responses')) sub(s,r)
) s ON true;
The manual about combining multiple table functions.
Or you could use WITH ORDINALITY to get original order of elements and combine as you wish:
PostgreSQL unnest() with element number
I am trying to build a query which combines rows of one table into a JSON array, I then want that array to be part of the return.
I know how to do a simple query like
SELECT *
FROM public.template
WHERE id=1
And I have worked out how to produce the JSON array that I want
SELECT array_to_json(array_agg(to_json(fields)))
FROM (
SELECT id, name, format, data
FROM public.field
WHERE template_id = 1
) fields
However, I cannot work out how to combine the two, so that the result is a number of fields from public.template with the output of the second query being one of the returned fields.
I am using PostGreSQL 9.6.6
Edit, as requested more information, a definition of field and template tables and a sample of each queries output.
Currently, I have a JSONB row on the template table which I am using to store an array of fields, but I want to move fields to their own table so that I can more easily enforce a schema on them.
Template table contains:
id
name
data
organisation_id
But I would like to remove data and replace it with the field table which contains:
id
name
format
data
template_id
At the moment the output of the first query is:
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Test Template",
"data": [
{
"id": "1",
"data": null,
"name": "Assigned User",
"format": "String"
},
{
"id": "2",
"data": null,
"name": "Office",
"format": "String"
},
{
"id": "3",
"data": null,
"name": "Department",
"format": "String"
}
],
"id_organisation": 1
}
This output is what I would like to recreate using one query and both tables. The second query outputs this, but I do not know how to merge it into a single query:
[{
"id": 1,
"name": "Assigned User",
"format": "String",
"data": null
},{
"id": 2,
"name": "Office",
"format": "String",
"data": null
},{
"id": 3,
"name": "Department",
"format": "String",
"data": null
}]
The feature you're looking for is json concatenation. You can do that by using the operator ||. It's available since PostgreSQL 9.5
SELECT to_jsonb(template.*) || jsonb_build_object('data', (SELECT to_jsonb(field) WHERE template_id = templates.id)) FROM template
Sorry for poorly phrasing what I was trying to achieve, after hours of Googling I have worked it out and it was a lot more simple than I thought in my ignorance.
SELECT id, name, data
FROM public.template, (
SELECT array_to_json(array_agg(to_json(fields)))
FROM (
SELECT id, name, format, data
FROM public.field
WHERE template_id = 1
) fields
) as data
WHERE id = 1
I wanted the result of the subquery to be a column in the ouput rather than compiling the entire output table as a JSON.
My JSON data looks like this:
[{
"id": 1,
"payload": {
"location": "NY",
"details": [{
"name": "cafe",
"cuisine": "mexican"
},
{
"name": "foody",
"cuisine": "italian"
}
]
}
}, {
"id": 2,
"payload": {
"location": "NY",
"details": [{
"name": "mbar",
"cuisine": "mexican"
},
{
"name": "fdy",
"cuisine": "italian"
}
]
}
}]
given a text "foo" I want to return all the tuples that have this substring. But I cannot figure out how to write the query for the same.
I followed this related answer but cannot figure out how to do LIKE.
This is what I have working right now:
SELECT r.res->>'name' AS feature_name, d.details::text
FROM restaurants r
, LATERAL (SELECT ARRAY (
SELECT * FROM json_populate_recordset(null::foo, r.res#>'{payload,
details}')
)
) AS d(details)
WHERE d.details #> '{cafe}';
Instead of passing the whole text of cafe I want to pass ca and get the results that match that text.
Your solution can be simplified some more:
SELECT r.res->>'name' AS feature_name, d.name AS detail_name
FROM restaurants r
, jsonb_populate_recordset(null::foo, r.res #> '{payload, details}') d
WHERE d.name LIKE '%oh%';
Or simpler, yet, with jsonb_array_elements() since you don't actually need the row type (foo) at all in this example:
SELECT r.res->>'name' AS feature_name, d->>'name' AS detail_name
FROM restaurants r
, jsonb_array_elements(r.res #> '{payload, details}') d
WHERE d->>'name' LIKE '%oh%';
db<>fiddle here
But that's not what you asked exactly:
I want to return all the tuples that have this substring.
You are returning all JSON array elements (0-n per base table row), where one particular key ('{payload,details,*,name}') matches (case-sensitively).
And your original question had a nested JSON array on top of this. You removed the outer array for this solution - I did the same.
Depending on your actual requirements the new text search capability of Postgres 10 might be useful.
I ended up doing this(inspired by this answer - jsonb query with nested objects in an array)
SELECT r.res->>'name' AS feature_name, d.details::text
FROM restaurants r
, LATERAL (
SELECT * FROM json_populate_recordset(null::foo, r.res#>'{payload, details}')
) AS d(details)
WHERE d.details LIKE '%oh%';
