Description:
Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
DO LANGUAGE plpgsql $$
DECLARE
jsonb_src jsonb;
jsonb_dst jsonb;
BEGIN
jsonb_src = '{
"key1": {"data1": [1, 2, 3]},
"key2": {"data2": [3, 4, 5]}
}';
raise notice 'jsonb_src = %', jsonb_src;
with t_data as (select * from jsonb_each(jsonb_src))
select jsonb_object(
array(select key from t_data),
array(select value::text from t_data) )
into jsonb_dst;
raise notice 'jsonb_dst = %', jsonb_dst;
END $$;
Actual result:
--------------
NOTICE: jsonb_src = {"key1": {"data1": [1, 2, 3]}, "key2": {"data2": [3, 4,
5]}}
NOTICE: jsonb_dst = {"key1": "{\"data1\": [1, 2, 3]}", "key2": "{\"data2\":
[3, 4, 5]}"}
What's wrong? - values in 'dst' are represented as text. Reason -
jsonb_object() has arguments as jsonb_object(keys text[], values text[]) and
there is no way to pass values as 'jsonb'. Conversion to 'text' looses JSON
structure.
Expected result:
----------------
NOTICE: jsonb_src = {"key1": {"data1": [1, 2, 3]}, "key2": {"data2": [3, 4,
5]}}
NOTICE: jsonb_dst = {"key1": {"data1": [1, 2, 3]}, "key2": {"data2": [3, 4,
5]}}
'src' and 'dst' JSON objects should be identical/equal.
