![]() ![]() ![]() Given a jsonb column, you can set a new value on the specified path: Reference: PostgreSQL Json functions Jsonb_set(target jsonb, path text, new_value jsonb) Pretty easy right? But how can you update a specific contact for a specific customer? How to change Jimi's email or Janis’ phone?įortunately, PostgreSQL is your friend and provides the jsonb_set function: Then you create a customers table with a JSONB contacts column and insert some data into it: Then you come up with the idea of storing the contacts as a JSONB column because they’re dynamic, and thus using a not relational data structure makes sense. Suppose you’re implementing a customer screen to store dynamic contacts for each customer. TL DR: the final query is at the end of the article, and you can check out a live example at DB Fiddle to copy & paste and play with. In this article let’s see how to update a specific value of an object inside an array with one query. But, you just created another problem: performance bottlenecks and resource waste. JSONB is a powerful tool, but it comes at some cost because you need to adapt the way you query and handle the data.Īnd it’s not rare to load the entire jsonb object into memory, transform it using your preferred programming language, and then saving it back to the database. Let’s say you decided to store data in the database as json or jsonb and discovered that you just created new problems for yourself that you didn’t have before.
