Ya agreed thats not legal JSON, that was typing mistake sorry for that,
let me make you clear what i need exactly,
I have table named (exampleTable) with json field as (example_list), and
when i say
SELECT * FROM exampleTable;
id |
example_list
---+----------------------------------------------
2 | {"abc":[ { "a":"b","c":"d" } ] }
And this data i am inserting through DJango view by writing the following
statement
test = ExampleTable(id = 2, example_list = {"abc" : [ { "a":"b","c":"d" } ]
})
test.save()
now i want to append { "e":"f", "g":"h" } to example_list by specifying the
id.
and after appending the data should be stored in the following way :
After appending,
for example if i say :
SELECT * FROM exampleTable;
i should get this.
id |
example_list
---+--------------------------------------------------------
2 | {"abc":[ { "a":"b","c":"d" }, { "e":"f", "g":"h" } ] }
Hope your clear now.
So now Guide me to append it through Python Djnago View. or through raw sql
query.
