Bug reference:      15242

Description:

I get this error:   SQL Error [22023]: ERROR: cannot deconstruct an array as
an object

when running the statement below because the JSON_EACH function doesn't
recognize the JSON. If I remove the json_each function the query runs fine
and executes JSON_ARRAY_LENGTH on the same variable, even though both
functions take json.

WITH sample_text AS 
(
SELECT TEXT '[{"id":11,"name":"Chocolate +
Blueberry","sku":"11-CHOBLU"},{"id":11,"name":"Chocolate +
Blueberry","sku":"11-CHOBLU"}]' AS txt
)
SELECT json_array_length(txt::json), json_each(txt::json) FROM sample_text
