Re: Upper / lower case keys in JSON objects - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi all 

Apologies for any unexpected protocol exceptions, I do not post to mailing lists very often

I have been trying to work with JSON objects and noticed I could not get the function json_to_record to produce results, unless I had the key values in lower case, through testing what works.

I completed a search, but could not find any pointer (except for some front end comments on labels being all upper or all lower case)

Could anybody comment if the postgres standard is to have key labels in lower case?

Many thanks for any help you can provide

query:

select * from json_to_record('{"secLvl": 13, "firBal": "somethi", "firLvl": "C", "thiLvl": "A", "fourLvl": 2}'::json) as x(seclvl int, firbal text, firlvl text

, thilvl text, fourlvl int);

result:

seclvl | firbal | firlvl | thilvl | fourlvl  
--------+--------+--------+--------+---------
       |        |        |        |         
(1 row)

, thilvl text, fourlvl int);
