Thread: Create array of data from JSONB in PG 9.5

Hi,

I wrote the below SQL which works and give me what I want, but it doesn’t work in 9.5 version. I wrote this query in PG
10.I want to change it so that I can run it on 9.5 as production using 9.5 version. I need help on this. 

SELECT DISTINCT
    ARRAY [jsonb_array_elements(data) ->> 'group', jsonb_array_elements(jsonb_array_elements(data) -> 'properties') ->>
'name']
FROM
    "vessels"
WHERE
    "vessels"."deleted_at" IS NULL
    AND "vessels"."company_id" = '7d105acd-be5a-4225-a2db-b549105e4172';


When I ran the same query to production I get error:

ERROR:  set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set


Thanks,

I would break this down into smaller units to see what is actually 
triggering the above ERROR. In other words run the 
jsonb_array_elements() independently and then start adding them together.

IIRC, you can't nest calls of set-returning functions before about v10.
One workaround is to put the inner set-returning function call into a
sub-select.
