Postgresql query array of objects in JSONB field filter Specific Object

CREATE TABLE company (id SERIAL, companyJson JSONB);
CREATE INDEX comapny_gin_idx ON company USING gin (companyJson);

INSERT INTO company (id, companyJson) 
  VALUES (1, '[{"name": "t", "company": "company1"}]');

INSERT INTO company (id, companyJson) 
  VALUES (2, '[{"name": "b", "company":"company2"}, {"name": "b", "company":"company3"}]');


 SELECT * FROM company WHERE companyJson @> '[{"company": "company2" , "name": "b"}]';

The output of the above program is 

2   [{"name": "b", "company": "company2"}, {"name": "b", "company": "company3"}]

Is there anyway to return {"name": "b", "company": "company2"} instead whole row.

Solution

  • I can only think of unnesting the array and the return the element from that:

    SELECT x.j
FROM company c
  cross join jsonb_array_elements(c.companyjson) as x(j)
where x.j = '{"company": "company2" , "name": "b"}'
