I have a Postgres table with a jsonb field where an array of json is stored:
PURCHASE TABLE
go | buyer | items_purchased |
---|---|---|
1 | Bob | [{"name": "Dell 123 Laptop Computer", "price": 1300, "productid": 1}, {"name": "Mechanical Keyboard", "price": 120, "productid": 2}] |
two | carol | [{"name": "Virtual Keyboard", "price": 150,"productid": 3}, {"name": "Dell 123 Laptop Computer", "price": 1300,"productid": 1}, { "name": "LG Ultrawide Monitor", "price": 190, "productid": 8}] |
3 | ted | [{"name": "Ergonomic Keyboard", "price": 90, "productid": 6}, {"name": "Dell 789 Desktop Computer", "price": 120, "productid": 7}] |
4 | Alice | [{"name": "Dell 789 Desktop Computer", "price": 120, "productid": 7}, {"name": "Mechanical Keyboard", "price": 120, "productid": 2}] |
Given for example a productid , I want to get all the records where that item was purchased. For example, for productid = 1 I look for this output:
go | buyer | items_purchased |
---|---|---|
1 | Bob | [{"name": "Dell 123 Laptop Computer", "price": 1300, "productid": 1}] |
two | carol | [{"name": "Dell 123 Laptop Computer", "price": 1300, "productid": 1}] |
What I have tried is the following:
select * from purchases where (items_purchased->>'productid')::integer = 1;
but it returns an empty table.
i also tried
select * from purchases where
items_purchased @> ANY (ARRAY ['{"productid":1}']::jsonb[]);
getting again an empty table.
I also tried various combinations of the following query
select * from purchases, jsonb_array_elements(items_purchased) with ordinality arr(item_object, position) where items_purchased->>'productid'::integer = 1;
but I always get syntax or explicit data conversion errors.
