I have table documents, I want to select columns foo and bar. And also the column comments which is jsonb.



But in comments I only need the last element that meets condition "isUser":false.



"select foo, bar, comments from documents 
where comments @> '["isUser":false]'
limit 1 " /*just limit by 1, the latest comment where isUser = false*/


This is how the json looks liks inside comments column:



[
"text": "1 sample lorem ipsum",
"authorId": "0dcd5a36-2778-4fc4-bbc1-112ed61f1362",
"timestamp": "2018-11-11T08:46:39.608Z",
"isUser": false
,
"text": "2 sample lorem",
"authorId": "0dcd5a36-2778-4fc4-bbc1-112ed61f1362",
"timestamp": "2018-11-11T08:46:41.237Z",
"isUser": true
,{
...]


For comments I only need the last object in which "isUser":false

You may use jsonb_array_elements .. WITH ORDINALITY to get the order



select foo, bar, j.comments
from
documents cross
join lateral jsonb_array_elements(comments) WITH ORDINALITY j(comments, rn)
WHERE
(j.comments ->> 'isUser'):: boolean is false
ORDER BY j.rn DESC LIMIT 1;


EDIT




I want it to limit to 1 json object inside the jsonarray in comments




select DISTINCT ON ( foo, bar) foo,bar,comments
FROM
( select d.foo,d.bar,j.comments,j.rn
from
documents d cross
join lateral jsonb_array_elements(comments) WITH ORDINALITY j(comments, rn)
WHERE
(j.comments ->> 'isUser'):: boolean is false
) s
ORDER BY foo,bar,rn desc ;

  • Some progress, so I tested inserting more values. Right now this is limiting the main row return (foo, bar, comments), I want it to limit to 1 json object inside the jsonarray in comments, not to limit the rows.

  • @commonSenseCode : It's basically the TOP 1 per group problem. You may use DISTINCT ON. check edit. Please remember that when you ask a question, your sample data and expected output should reflect the complete requirement.

  • Hi Kaushik this is way nearer to what I need, is there a wat to order DESC by field timestamp inside comments. Somehow sometimes it doesn't give the last added comment
