如何更新嵌套 json Postgres 中的值

Question

I have following JSON stored in "Info" column

{
  "customConfig": {
    "isCustomGoods": 1
  },
  "new_addfields": {
    "data": [
      {
        "val": {
          "items": [
            {
              "Code": "calorie",
              "Value": "365.76"
            },
            {
              "Code": "protein",
              "Value": "29.02"
            },
            {
              "Code": "fat",
              "Value": "23.55"
            },
            {
              "Code": "carbohydrate",
              "Value": "6.02"
            },
            {
              "Code": "spirit",
              "Value": "1.95"
            }
          ],
          "storageConditions": "",
          "outQuantity": "100"
        },
        "parameterType": "Nutrition",
        "name": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
        "label": "1"
      },
      {
        "name": "b4589168-5235-4ec5-bcc7-07d4431d14d6_Для ресторанов",
        "val": "true"
      }
    ]
  }
}

I want to update value of nested json

{
  "name": "b4589168-5235-4ec5-bcc7-07d4431d14d6_Для ресторанов",
  "val": "true"
}

and set "val"to "Yes" str so the result should be like

{
  "name": "b4589168-5235-4ec5-bcc7-07d4431d14d6_Для ресторанов",
  "val": "Yes"
}

How can i do that ? Assuming that i need to update this value in json for many records in database

Answer 1

We can use jsonb_set() which is available from Postgres 9.5+

From Docs :

jsonb_set(target jsonb, path text[], new_value jsonb [, create_missing boolean])

Query to update the nested object:

UPDATE temp t
SET info = jsonb_set(t.info,'{new_addfields,data,1,val}', jsonb '"Yes"')
where id = 1;

It can also be used in select query:

SELECT 
  jsonb_set(t.info,'{new_addfields,data,1,val}', jsonb '"Yes"')
FROM temp t
LIMIT 1;

Answer 2

Considering you have a constant JSON Structure and a primary key in your table. Idea is to get the exact path of element val having value true (which can be at any index in the array) then replace it with desired value. So you can write your query like below:

with cte as (
select 
  id, 
  ('{new_addfields,data,'||index-1||',val}')::text[] as json_path
from 
  test, 
  jsonb_array_elements(info->'new_addfields'->'data') 
  with ordinality arr(vals,index) 
where 
  arr.vals->>'val' ilike 'true'
  )

 update test 
 set info = jsonb_set(info,cte.json_path,'"Yes"',false) 
 from cte 
 where test.id=cte.id;
