The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18809
Logged by: Mark Drake
Email address: mark.drake@golden-hind.com
PostgreSQL version: 17.0
Operating system: Linux
Description:
broadway=#
broadway=# select jsonb('[2,3,1]') - to_jsonb(1);
ERROR: operator does not exist: jsonb - jsonb
LINE 1: select jsonb('[2,3,1]') - to_jsonb(1);
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument types. You might need
to add explicit type casts.
broadway=#
Given that the first statement show the array contains an element that
matches to_jsonb(1) the fourth statement should delete the third ( index 2)
item from the array, not return an argument type mismatch. This would solve
the problem of not being able to delete from a JSON integer array by value
This would be a feature request, not a bug report.
Feature requests usually are better sent to the -general mailing list where support and possible developers are more likely to be looking.
I do concur we seem to have a feature gap here.
