I have tried to unnest the JSON array with the function json_array_elements()
and tried to count the elements of the array using json_array_length(field_name)
not being successful. I am using PostgreSQL 9.4.5.
I was looking to query the result for the element "name"
this is the data held on the json type array field crew
:
[
{
"workHours": "9",
"workers": "50",
"checker_rate": 100,
"rate": 150,
"name": "Ramona",
"last": null,
"boxRate": 2,
"checkTraining": false,
"editing": true,
"ix": 0,
"breakPay": 3.0833333333333335,
"trainingPay": 0
},
{
"workHours": "4",
"workers": "50",
"checker_rate": 120,
"rate": 160,
"name": "Ramon",
"last": "Rosas",
"boxRate": 2,
"checkTraining": false,
"editing": false,
"id": 1,
"breakPay": 1.5416666666666667,
"trainingPay": 0
}
]
Your problem stems from the incorrect use of the type json[]. A json array is a single json object and its type is json, not json[]. Example:
create table test (id int, crew json);
insert into test values
(1, '
[
{
"workHours": "9",
"workers": "50",
"checker_rate": 100,
"rate": 150,
"name": "Ramona",
"last": null,
"boxRate": 2,
"checkTraining": false,
"editing": true,
"ix": 0,
"breakPay": 3.0833333333333335,
"trainingPay": 0
},
{
"workHours": "4",
"workers": "50",
"checker_rate": 120,
"rate": 160,
"name": "Ramon",
"last": "Rosas",
"boxRate": 2,
"checkTraining": false,
"editing": false,
"id": 1,
"breakPay": 1.5416666666666667,
"trainingPay": 0
}
]');
The function json_array_elements()
works as expected:
select id, elem->'name' as name
from test
cross join json_array_elements(crew) elem;
id | name
----+----------
1 | "Ramona"
1 | "Ramon"
(2 rows)
One of the queries (or both) should work well with json[]
:
select id, elem->'name' as name
from test
cross join json_array_elements(crew[1]) elem;
select id, elem->'name' as name
from test
cross join unnest(crew)
cross join json_array_elements(unnest) elem;
