There's one last piece of this query I'm clearly not getting though. Where it says:
from foo as f, jsonb_to_recordset(js) as t(key2 text)
what is actually going on there? I keep reading this as a table foo (f) cross-joined to a table created by jsonb_to_recordset (t). But that doesn't seem right, because rows from t are only joining with matching rows from f, rather than all of them. Is there some unspoken implicit logic going on here, or something else entirely that is going over my head?
That is the lateral join.
Read the section under from, join, lateral.
