Hi Steve,Very strange. It is supposed to remove the element at path given.Clean docker compose with 13.4 PostgreSQL has no problem running exact same SQL and is successful in removing the key.❯ psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -d postgres -c 'SELECT version();'Password for user postgres:version-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PostgreSQL 13.4 (Debian 13.4-1.pgdg110+1) on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, 64-bit(1 row)Screenshot: https://cln.sh/5PLjiLRunning following SQLDROP TABLE IF EXISTS jtest;

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'm trying to remove JSONB key from following sample JSON
{
"spec": {
"id": "485197a6-253a-42b3-9c07-6bac07c02166",
"buildings": [
{
"id": "1b6754b5-c1db-4fdd-af39-32ac173c88cb",
"equipment": {
"selected_inverters": {
"15c9e4a2-5dc7-4017-a09f-1d8e75bdfaef": {
"count": 1
}
}
}
},
{
"id": "0c6d0627-9fd9-4989-819c-35743640052d",
"equipment": {
"selected_inverters": {
"125a2eb4-f26f-4d07-89fa-f14df9dac7cf": {
"count": 2
}
}
}
}
]
}
}
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/23491408

p.s. Text of function for the curious
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION remove_key(json_in json, key_name text) RETURNS json AS $$ DECLARE item json; DECLARE fields hstore;
BEGIN -- Initialize the hstore with desired key being set to NULL fields := hstore(key_name,NULL);
