Aggregate per Group returns Duplicates












0















I have the following scenario a user belongs to several Groups. The Groups are organized in a hierachy:



enter image description here



I want to aggregate all the Person Information of the Groups the User Belongs to. Eg. Person 1 belongs to Group 7. And Group 7 has connections to the following Groups 1,5,7,8 (complete branch)



I wrote the following query:



SELECT person.id, array_agg(info)
FROM person LEFT JOIN person_group
ON ARRAY[person.id] && path
LEFT JOIN person_information ON
ARRAY[person_information.id] && path
GROUP BY person.id;


Problem with this query is that I get duplicated Information:



enter image description here



I don't want to use UNIQUE on the array_agg(info) field. Rather I would like write my join so that I only get UNIQUE rows of the Person Information Table.



*How would I do that?*Thank you
