Обсуждение: how to query against nested hstore data type
Hi,
It’s my test DB, the version is PostgreSQL 9.4beta2. I’m testing with nested hstore feature.
testdb=# \d+ test
Table "public.test"
Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description
--------+--------+-----------+----------+--------------+-------------
id | text | | extended | |
stats | hstore | | extended | |
testdb=# select * from test;
id | stats
---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2b8ea99d60b30 | "www.ask.com"=>"{visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}", "www.strawberrynet.com"=>"{visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}"
(1 row)
testdb=# select (each(channel)).key,(each(channel)).value from visits;
key | value
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------
www.ask.com | {visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}
www.strawberrynet.com | {visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}
(2 rows)
The question is how can I get visits/pages/duration separately from the value column so that I can do a sum on those metrics individually.
Thank you!

Does it mean we should turn to using jsonb instead of nested hstore as it seems it's not going to be on the main developmentbranch?

Changed column name from channel to stats.

why not store all this in proper relational tables so you can use proper relational queries?

The only way I could replicate what you show is:
test=> \d hstore_test
Table "public.hstore_test"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------+---------+-----------
id | integer |
hstore_fld | hstore |
test=> insert into hstore_test values (1, hstore('www.ask.com',
'{visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}'));
INSERT 0 1
test=> select * from hstore_test ;
-[ RECORD 1
]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
id | 1
hstore_fld |
"www.ask.com"=>"{visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}"
test=> select (each(hstore_fld)).key,(each(hstore_fld)).value from
hstore_test ;
-[ RECORD 1 ]---------------------------------------------------------------
key | www.ask.com
value | {visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}
If that is indeed what you did then you as far as I can tell you do not
have a nested hstore. Instead you have a key "www.ask.com" and a string
value "{visits=>2.11221003268,pages=>4.22442006537,duration=>197980.836904}"
Where the => in the string value is decoration not functional. If you
want nesting then you will need to use the array or JSON types.

Thanks Adrian,
I've figured out, have to apply a separate patch to query out of nested hstore.
