Before looking at the code I have a few comments about documentation:
in json.sgml:
+-- Extract value by key
+SELECT ('{"a": 1}'::jsonb)['a'];
What is the result of running this query? What is the resulting data type?
+-- Extract nested value by key path
+SELECT ('{"a": {"b": {"c": 1}}}'::jsonb)['a']['b']['c'];
+
+-- Extract element by index
+SELECT ('[1, "2", null]'::jsonb)['1'];
What is the result here? Why subscript is a string and not a number? Are
subscription indexes 0- or 1-based?
+-- Update value by key
+UPDATE table_name set jsonb_field['key'] = 1;
+
+-- Select records using where clause with subscripting
+SELECT * from table_name where jsonb_field['key'] = '"value"';
Please capitalize: SET, FROM, WHERE.
Use of double quotes around "value" requires some explanation, I think.
Should the user expect that a suitable index is used by the query planner
for this query?
In other words, I would like to see this part of documentation to be
extended beyond just showcasing the syntax.
