Hi,
I have simplified the case and tried to look from a list of json items
(please see test table content). I think I have managed to unpack values in
such a way that also partial matching is possible. However, the end result
has two "value" named columns even if I have tried to rename them.
How can I rename the columns coming from jsonb_ functions? Or is there a
better way of unpacking the list and items?
select * from test;
id | main
----+--------------------------
1 | [{"A": "b"}, {"B": "b"}]
(1 row)
select * from test, jsonb_array_elements(test.main) as m, jsonb_each(value);
id | main | value | key | value
----+--------------------------+------------+-----+-------
1 | [{"A": "b"}, {"B": "b"}] | {"A": "b"} | A | "b"
1 | [{"A": "b"}, {"B": "b"}] | {"B": "b"} | B | "b"
(2 rows)
Thanks
Performance of this will be awful. Unfortunately, FWICT there is no
