Hi Steve and Boris,
Steve, I was also considering a stored procedure and generate the SQL necessary to remove every element via loop.
Thank you for the effort! Much appreciated.
Boris, the code you've presented was almost what I needed it to do, thank you very much!
I've modified it a bit to my use case and settled on
SELECT
JSONB_SET(
my_jsonb,
'{spec, buildings}',
(SELECT JSONB_AGG(value #- '{equipment,selected_inverters}') FROM JSONB_ARRAY_ELEMENTS((my_jsonb['spec']['buildings'])))
) AS my_jsonb
FROM my_table
JSONB_SET(
my_jsonb,
'{spec, buildings}',
(SELECT JSONB_AGG(value #- '{equipment,selected_inverters}') FROM JSONB_ARRAY_ELEMENTS((my_jsonb['spec']['buildings'])))
) AS my_jsonb
FROM my_table
This basically achieves same thing as something like following would
my_jsonb #- '{spec,buildings,*,equipment,selected_inverters}') AS my_jsob
Including DDLs and data prep
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;
CREATE TABLE my_table
(
my_jsonb jsonb
);
INSERT INTO my_table (my_jsonb)
VALUES
('{
"spec": {

However the problem is that the array length across the records in table are variable and am looking to implement something like '{spec,buildings,*,equipment,selected_inverters}'.BR, JP.On 11 Oct 2021, at 21:09, Steve Midgley <science@misuse.org> wrote:On Sun, Oct 10, 2021 at 1:45 PM JP <janis@puris.lv> wrote:Hi,

I've succeeded to do so with following query
SELECT
my_jsonb #- '{spec,buildings,0,equipment,selected_inverters}') #- '{spec,buildings,1,equipment,selected_inverters}' AS my_jsob
FROM my_table
This feels like a nasty solution, more so.. I may have various number of dicts in the buildings array.
Does anyone have some ideas on how I could implement something like the following?
SELECT
my_jsonb #- '{spec,buildings,*,equipment,selected_inverters}') AS my_jsob
FROM my_tableI took a look at your json and query and I can't figure out what your SQL select is actually doing. It seems to return the exact same results as a straight query of your original data?Here's a sandbox where I put your data and query for examination: https://www.db-fiddle.com/f/qBhWGyTttT2qqVmw76AJSo/0Can you please clarify what you're trying to accomplish with the query (like what output do you want)..Maybe something buggy with the db-fiddle Pg v13 system (not patched to current?)..Anyway, your goal is to remove an element, but it sounds like your solution is to name every element but the one you want? Is that acceptable? And basically in this example, you want to remove the "count" field from the output?I played around a bit without success, but I think one idea would be match the parent of count via a regex using a json path query and remove count that way.. Sorry I can't be more help,I also found this function which claims to do what you want: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23490965/postgresql-remove-attribute-from-json-column/23491408Stevep.s.
