@mankind, Thank you for redirects. I changed my data structure a bit just to make it work.

Now my data structure is like this
filters: { data: ["10", "20", "30"] }
filter is a column a the table with type jsonb.
With this i had to solve an or match query so that what ever is passed, at least on of the values should be there.

example: filter that are requested are ["20", "40"].

so two ways

1. This one will look for all the values contained in the database like given above.
   segment.where("filters @> ?", {data: ["20", "40"]})
   The above will return null as there is no 40 in it. If we had ["20", "30"] than we could get one value.

2. If we want to retrun the value even if only one is there than we can do
   segment.where("(filters -> :key)::jsonb ?| ARRAY [:value]", key: 'data', value: ['20', '40'])
   This will return the value if there is atleast on present in the database.

The structure like {key: 'a', display: 'trial'} is not a good structure to keep as we have to pluck or select each value of a key to another array and query there. This will bring n*2 query which is bad.

So my suggestion after running a performance testing is that whenever we save the data to jsonb object, parse it in such a way that we just need to compare the real query that would come and save it .

Example:
My real data stuct is
values: [{key: 'a', display: 'A'}, {key: 'b', display: 'B'}]
Than in your db save it like this.

Table displayers
columns: value:jsonb array: true, filter:jsonb
1 row- value: [{key: 'a', display: 'A'}, {key: 'b', display: 'B'}], filter: { keys: ['a', 'b'] }

Now you can query displayers.filter -> keys with

displayers.where("(filter -> :key)::jsonb ?| ARRAY [:value]", key: 'keys', value: ['a', 'c'])
this will retrun row 1.

I cannot write this in stackoverflow as i m not allowed to write an answer.

Thanks and please let me know if this is not clear.

Thanks! You saved me a lot of time :)

FWIW - nested structure query examples would also be helpful

Thanks @valachi for enriching this gist by your addition.

Hi! How i can unscoped jsonb conditions?

My table order has a jsonb column called line_items that can contain 1 or more line items like this:

[
  {
    "id":9994857545813,
    "sku":"CLIPPING-PATH_C2_24H",
  },
  {
    "id":9994857578581,
    "sku":"NATURAL-SHADOW_C1_24H",
  }
]

I need to find the count of all orders that have sku = CLIPPING-PATH_C2_24H && there is no second line item in it unlike the above one. So, the query won't count the above one but the one below:

[
  {
    "id":9994857545813,
    "sku":"CLIPPING-PATH_C2_24H",
  }
]

Could you advise how to achieve this?

I was able to figure this out using the jsonb_array_length method:

Order
.where("line_items @> ?", [{sku: sku}].to_json)
.where("jsonb_array_length(line_items) = 1")
.count
end

This is extremely useful. Thank you so much for sharing.

Is there a way to search json field globally?

I don't know what's json data structure and I don't care at all.

I want to search all keys and all values inside the json field. Or, is there a way to flatten the json become a string and search the string?

For JSON arrays you can use json_array_elements_text to convert to text and search that. Otherwise I think that jsonb_pretty might work, as that convers the JSON content to text, which you can search.

I have structure like project_data:jsonb field in postgres table
project_data: [{"data"=>"1", "template_field_id"=>1}, {"data"=>"10-11-2022", "template_field_id"=>2}, {"data"=>"Hi", "template_field_id"=>3}, {"data"=>"abc", "template_field_id"=>8}, {"data"=>"2", "template_field_id"=>9}]

data field will always have string values.
template_field_id will always have integer values (i.e. id of another table).

I want to get list of all records based on data field and template_field_id field. Below criteria only applies to data field values.

1. Filter by date range (i.e. between 2 dates)
2. Filter having exact text
3. Filter having number between range, including number (i.e. data field having number between 3 to 10)
4. Filter matching partial value.
5. How to group (Grouping Query)

Could you advise how to achieve this with single and multiple filters?
