I'm using postgresql 11, I have a jsonb which represent a row of that table, it's look like
{"userid":"test","rolename":"Root","loginerror":0,"email":"superadmin#ae.com",...,"thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}
is there any method that I could gather all the "values" of the jsonb into a string which is separated by ',' and without the keys?
The string I want to obtain with the jsonb above is like
(test, Root, 0, superadmin#ae.com, ..., {})
I need to keep the ORDER of those values as what their keys were in the jsonb. Could I do that with postgresql?
You can use the jsonb_populate_record function (assuming your json data does match the users table). This will force the text value to match the order of your users table:
Schema (PostgreSQL v13)
CREATE TABLE users (
userid text,
rolename text,
loginerror int,
email text,
thirdpartyauthenticationkey json
)
Query #1
WITH d(js) AS (
VALUES
('{"userid":"test", "rolename":"Root", "loginerror":0, "email":"superadmin#ae.com", "thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb),
('{"userid":"other", "rolename":"User", "loginerror":324, "email":"nope#ae.com", "thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb)
)
SELECT jsonb_populate_record(null::users, js),
jsonb_populate_record(null::users, js)::text AS record_as_text,
pg_typeof(jsonb_populate_record(null::users, js)::text)
FROM d
;
jsonb_populate_record
record_as_text
pg_typeof
(test,Root,0,superadmin#ae.com,{})
(test,Root,0,superadmin#ae.com,{})
text
(other,User,324,nope#ae.com,{})
(other,User,324,nope#ae.com,{})
text
Note that if you're building this string to insert it back into postgresql then you don't need to do that, since the result of jsonb_populate_record will match your table:
Query #2
WITH d(js) AS (
VALUES
('{"userid":"test", "rolename":"Root", "loginerror":0, "email":"superadmin#ae.com", "thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb),
('{"userid":"other", "rolename":"User", "loginerror":324, "email":"nope#ae.com", "thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb)
)
INSERT INTO users
SELECT (jsonb_populate_record(null::users, js)).*
FROM d;
There are no results to be displayed.
Query #3
SELECT * FROM users;
userid
rolename
loginerror
email
thirdpartyauthenticationkey
test
Root
0
superadmin#ae.com
[object Object]
other
User
324
nope#ae.com
[object Object]

You can use jsonb_each_text() to get a set of a text representation of the elements, string_agg() to aggregate them in a comma separated string and concat() to put that in parenthesis.
SELECT concat('(', string_agg(value, ', '), ')')
FROM jsonb_each_text('{"userid":"test","rolename":"Root","loginerror":0,"email":"superadmin#ae.com","thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb) jet (key,
value);

You didn't provide DDL and DML of a (the) table the JSON may reside in (if it does, that isn't clear from your question). The demonstration above therefore only uses the JSON you showed as a scalar. If you have indeed a table you need to CROSS JOIN LATERAL and GROUP BY some key.
Edit:
If you need to be sure the order is retained and you don't have that defined in a table's structure as #Marth's answer assumes, then you can of course extract every value manually in the order you need them.
SELECT concat('(',
concat_ws(', ',
j->>'userid',
j->>'rolename',
j->>'loginerror',
j->>'email',
j->>'thirdpartyauthenticationkey'),
')')
FROM (VALUES ('{"userid":"test","rolename":"Root","loginerror":0,"email":"superadmin#ae.com","thirdpartyauthenticationkey":{}}'::jsonb)) v (j);

I just can't figure it out why this query work
SELECT id, name, organization_id
FROM facilities
WHERE organization_id = ANY(
'{abc-xyz-123,678-ght-nmp}'
)
But this query wont work with error operator does not exist: uuid = uuid[]
SELECT id, name, organization_id
FROM facilities
WHERE organization_id = ANY(
SELECT organization_ids
FROM admins
WHERE id = 'jkl-iop-345'
)
When the subquery
SELECT organization_ids
FROM admins
WHERE id = 'jkl-iop-345'
give the exact result of {abc-xyz-123,678-ght-nmp}.
I'm using postgres (PostgreSQL) 13.3
The subquery produces one row that contains an array.
If you use = ANY (SELECT ...), the result set is converted to an array, so you end up with
{{abc-xyz-123,678-ght-nmp}}
which is an array of arrays.
You probably want
SELECT id, name, organization_id
FROM facilities
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM admins
WHERE admins.id = 'jkl-iop-345'
AND facilities.organization_id = ANY (admins.organization_ids)
);
Let me remark that storing references to other tables in an array, JSON or other composite data type is an exceptionally bad idea. A normalized schema with a junction table would serve you better.
I'm using pg-promise to process an array of data that I want to insert in table A. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to dynamically create this query that should only INSERT those values not already present in the table, while returning the ID of all those who are already present or were newly created.
I'm doing the following to do the above, but for a single element:
WITH s as
( SELECT *
FROM fruits
WHERE fruit_name = 'Apple' ),
i AS
( INSERT INTO fruits(fruit_name) SELECT 'Apple'
WHERE NOT exists
(SELECT 1
FROM s) RETURNING fruit_id)
But say that I have an Array of fruits = ['Banana', 'Apple']. How would I use the helpers to generate a query that would return the existing ID for apple, and the one for Banana?
update Claim
set first_name = random_name(7),
Last_name = random_name(6),
t2.first_name=random_name(7),
t2.last_name=random_name(6)
from Claim t1
inner join tbl_ecpremit t2
on t1.first_name = t2.first_name
I am getting below error
column "t2" of relation "claim" does not exist
You can do this with a so-called data-modifying CTE:
WITH c AS (
UPDATE claim SET first_name = random_name(7), last_name = random_name(6)
WHERE <put your condition here>
RETURNING *
)
UPDATE tbl_ecpremit SET last_name = c.last_name
FROM c
WHERE first_name = c.first_name;
This assumes that random_name() is a function you define, it is not part of PostgreSQL afaik.
The nifty trick here is that the UPDATE in the WITH query returns the updated record in the first table using the RETURNING clause. You can then use that record in the main UPDATE statement to have exactly the same data in the second table.
This is all very precarious though, because you are both linking on and modifying the "first_name" column with some random value. In real life this will only work well if you have some more logic regarding the names and conditions.
How to set an object to null.
Ex:
my object samp contains three fileds
samp.field1,samp.field2.sampfield3
If i set samp:= null;
im getting errors is there a way to set the object value to null.
An sql database does not know about objects, it deals with rows in table.
To remove a row use DELETE :
e.g. :
DELETE FROM samp WHERE id = 12345;
DELETE FROM samp WHERE field1 = 'Delete Me';
The first example is typical to remove individual rows uing their primary key (id in this case)
The second example will remove a group of rows which have a speciic value for a field.
