Text and jsonb concatenation in a single postgresql query

How can I concatenate a string inside of a concatenated jsonb object in postgresql? In other words, I am using the JSONb concatenate operator as well as the text concatenate operator in the same query and running into trouble.
Or... if there is a totally different query I should be executing, I'd appreciate hearing suggestions. The goal is to update a row containing a jsonb column. We don't want to overwrite existing key value pairs in the jsonb column that are not provided in the query and we also want to update multiple rows at once.
My query:
update contacts as c set data = data || '{"geomatch": "MATCH","latitude":'||v.latitude||'}'
from (values (16247746,40.814140),
(16247747,20.900840),
(16247748,20.890570)) as v(contact_id,latitude) where c.contact_id = v.contact_id
The Error:
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type json
LINE 85: update contacts as c set data = data || '{"geomatch": "MATCH...
^
DETAIL: The input string ended unexpectedly.
CONTEXT: JSON data, line 1: {"geomatch": "MATCH","latitude":
SQL state: 22P02
Character: 4573
You might be looking for
SET data = data || ('{"geomatch": "MATCH","latitude":'||v.latitude||'}')::jsonb
-- ^^ jsonb ^^ text ^^ text
but that's not how one should build JSON objects - that v.latitude might not be a valid JSON literal, or even contain some injection like "", "otherKey": "oops". (Admittedly, in your example you control the values, and they're numbers so it might be fine, but it's still a bad practice). Instead, use jsonb_build_object:
SET data = data || jsonb_build_object('geomatch', 'MATCH', 'latitude', v.latitude)
There are two problems. The first is operator precedence preventing your concatenation of a jsonb object to what is read a text object. The second is that the concatenation of text pieces requires a cast to jsonb.
This should work:
update contacts as c
set data = data || ('{"geomatch": "MATCH","latitude":'||v.latitude||'}')::jsonb
from (values (16247746,40.814140),
(16247747,20.900840),
(16247748,20.890570)) as v(contact_id,latitude)
where c.contact_id = v.contact_id
;

How to pass array as a parameter for rowMode="array" in pg-promise

I would like to get the result of a query using rowMode="array" (as this is a potentially very large table and I don't want it formatted to object format) but I couldn't figure out how to pass in a array/list parameter for use in an IN operator.
const events = await t.manyOrNone({text: `select * from svc.events where user_id in ($1:list);`, rowMode: "array"}, [[1,2]]);
However, the above gives an error: syntax error at or near ":"
Removing the :list did not work either:
const events = await t.manyOrNone({text: `select * from svc.events where user_id in ($1);`, rowMode: "array"}, [[1,2]]);
Error: invalid input syntax for integer: "{"1","2"}"
I understand that this might be because I'm forced to use ParameterizedQuery format for rowMode="array" which does not allow those snazzy modifiers like :list, but this then leads to the question, if I were to use ParameterizedQuery format, then how do I natively pass in a Javascript array so that it is acceptable to the driver?
I guess an alternative formulation to this question is: how do I use arrays as parameters for ParameterizedQuery or PreparedStatements...
Answering my own question as I eventually found an answer to this issue: how to pass in arrays as params for use in the IN operator when using rowMode="array" | ParameterizedQuery | PreparedStatements.
Because this query is being parameterized in the server, we cannot use the IN operator, because the IN operator parameterize items using IN ($1, $2, $3...). Instead we need to use the ANY operator, where ANY($1) where for $1 an array is expected.
So the query that will work is:
const events = await t.manyOrNone({text: `select * from svc.events where user_id=ANY($1);`, rowMode: "array"}, [[1,2]]);

Eloquent: dynamic fields in "where" clause through variable

I have a dynamic query and need to do a "where" condition that's build dynamically. And if I do this:
$fields = 'onefield, another_field, third_field';
$registros = $registros->where($fields);
It says
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'I
Same thing if I do:
$fields = '`one_column`, `another_column`';
So, how can I pass a list of fields in this where condition, without looping or calling ->where() several times?
Ok it's way simple that i thought:
You must pass dynamic columns as array:
$columns = array('onefield','anotherfield','oopsanotherone');

CrystalReports.Net DisplayString function to format bigint string

In Crystal Reports for .Net, we need to remove commas and the decimal places from the string so that only the numeric portion of bigint displays. We are trying to perform this in the Display String function.
We have tried to use the ToText function but it returns the "Too many arguments passed" error whenever there are two or more arguments supplied.
ToText({table.Field}, 0, '') returns the "too many arguments passed error".
Right now: The report is displaying the string number as 1,123,456,789.00 and we want it to be 1123456789. We will also suppress any zero value but we will add that later.
Any ideas how to remove commas and decimal places?
Thanks,
Marty
We found a solution.
Display String function is:
Replace(Replace(CStr({table.field}), ',', ''), '.00', '')
Suppress function is:
CStr({table.field}) = '0' Or CStr({table.field}) = '0.00'
Thanks...

JPA Native Query

I am trying to execute a native query and pass run-time parameters and get the result as a List. When I try to process the Object [], one of the columns fetched is a String. But it comes out as java.lang.Character instead of String. Here is the query below:
SELECT CASE
WHEN (TRUNC(abm.credit_card_expiration_date) BETWEEN trunc(SYSDATE) AND
trunc(last_day(SYSDATE))) THEN
'Expires'
ELSE
'Expired'
END EXP_STATUS,
TO_CHAR(abm.credit_card_expiration_date, 'MM/YY') EXP_DATE
FROM account_billing_methods abm
WHERE abm.account_id = 201103
AND abm.billing_type_id = 1
AND TRUNC(abm.credit_card_expiration_date) <= TRUNC(LAST_DAY(SYSDATE))
The EXP_STATUS column could not be typecasted into String as it is of type Character. Any ideas of why it does not work?
Regards,

I had the same problem and changed the select clause of my query to:
EXP_STATUS || '' as EXP_STATUS
Then it is a VARCHAR instead of a CHAR and JPA will return it as a String instead of a Character.
If someone knows a better/more elegant solution, I would appreciate if you could share it.
