Am not able to extract and compare two arrays from jsonb in postgres to do an overlap check. Is there a working function for this?
Example in people_favorite_color table:
{
"person_id":1,
"favorite_colors":["red","orange","yellow"]
}
{
"person_id":2,
"favorite_colors":["yellow","green","blue"]
}
{
"person_id":3,
"favorite_colors":["black","white"]
}
Array overlap postgres tests:
select
p1.json_data->>'person_id',
p2.json_data->>'person_id',
p1.json_data->'favorite_colors' && p2.json_data->'favorite_colors'
from people_favorite_color p1 join people_favorite_color p2 on (1=1)
where p1.json_data->>'person_id' < p2.json_data->>'person_id'
Expected results:
p1.id;p2.id;likes_same_color
1;2;t
1;3;f
2;3;f
--edit-- Attempting to cast to text[] results in an error:
select
('{
"person_id":3,
"favorite_colors":["black","white"]
}'::jsonb->>'favorite_colors')::text[];
ERROR: malformed array literal: "["black", "white"]"
DETAIL: "[" must introduce explicitly-specified array dimensions.
p1.json_data->'favorite_colors'
totext[]
then you should be able to use the usual array overlaps operator.
