Bug reference: 18356

PostgreSQL version: 16.0
Operating system: Linux, MacOS
Description:
- Prior to v16, this statement would work for casting values of a k/v jsonb
pair to an integer:
SELECT id, mytdata.key, mytdata.value::integer
FROM my_table as myt,
jsonb_each_text(myt.data) as mytdata
WHERE mytdata.key IN ( SELECT key from week_key_table
)
- Where week_key_table stores keys such as "week01", "week02", and
"week03".
- And where the jsonb has some keys with alphanumeric values and some keys
with numeric values, such as: { "key_figure": "Volume", "week01": "0",
"week02": "0", "week03": "0"}
However as of v16, this same statement causes the error: 'invalid input
syntax for type double precision: "Volume"'.
If the keys are specified directly, it will still work as normal, but thows
the casting error when the keys are being selected from another table.
Works:
SELECT id, mytdata.key, mytdata.value::integer
FROM my_table as myt,
jsonb_each_text(myt.data) as mytdata
WHERE mytdata.key IN ( "week01", "week02", "week03" )
Casting Error:
SELECT id, mytdata.key, mytdata.value::integer
FROM my_table as myt,
jsonb_each_text(myt.data) as mytdata
WHERE mytdata.key IN ( SELECT key from week_key_table )
