Combining JSONB values ​​in PostgreSQL?

Question

Using the operator ||gives the following result:

select '{"a":{"b":2}}'::jsonb || '{"a":{"c":3}}'::jsonb ;
    ?column?     
-----------------
 {"a": {"c": 3}}
(1 row)

I would like to be able to achieve the following result ( ??just a placeholder for the operator):

select '{"a":{"b":2}}'::jsonb ?? '{"a":{"c":3}}'::jsonb ;
    ?column?     
-----------------
 {"a": {"b": 2, "c": 3}}
(1 row)

So, you can see that the top-level key ahas its child values ​​“merged”, so the result contains both band c.

How do you deep merge two JSONB values in Postgres?

Is this possible, if so, how?

More complex test case:

select '{"a":{"b":{"c":3},"z":true}}'::jsonb ?? '{"a":{"b":{"d":4},"z":false}}'::jsonb ;
    ?column?     
-----------------
 {"a": {"b": {"c": 3, "d": 4}, "z": false}}
(1 row)

Another test case when a primitive merges with an object:

select '{"a":{"b":{"c":3},"z":true}}'::jsonb ?? '{"a":{"b":false,"z":false}}'::jsonb ;
        ?column?         
-----------------
 {"a": {"b": false, "z": false}}
(1 row)

PostgreSQL 9.5 jsonb_set:

• '{a,c}' , , .
• '{"a":{"c":3}}'::jsonb#>'{a,c}' c

new_value , create_missing ( )

Hier - jsonb -functions

select jsonb_set('{"a":{"b":2}}', '{a,c}','{"a":{"c":3}}'::jsonb#>'{a,c}' )

Result:  {"a":{"c":3,"b":2}}

:

with jsonb_paths(main_part,missing_part) as (
values ('{"a":{"b":2}}','{"a":{"c":3,"d":4}}')
)
select jsonb_object_agg(t.k,t.v||t2.v)
from jsonb_paths,
jsonb_each(main_part::jsonb) t(k,v),
jsonb_each(missing_part::jsonb) t2(k,v);

result: {"a":{"c":3,"b":2,"d":4}}
