postgresql - Appending data from JSON file to a table





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}







0















I am using two columns from the iris dataset as an example - sepal_length and sepal_width.



I have two tables



create table iris(sepal_length real, sepal_width real);, and



create table raw_json(data jsonb);



And inside the JSON file I have data like this



[{"sepal_width":3.5,"sepal_length":5.1},{"sepal_width":3.0,"sepal_length":4.9}]



First thing I do is copy raw_json from '/data.json';



So far I have only been able to figure out how to use jsonb_array_elements.



select jsonb_array_elements(data) from raw_json; gives back



           jsonb_array_elements            
-------------------------------------------
{"sepal_width": 3.5, "sepal_length": 5.1}
{"sepal_width": 3.0, "sepal_length": 4.9}


I want to insert (append actually) the data from raw_json table into iris table. I have figured out that I need to use either jsonb_to_recordset or json_populate_recordset. But how?



Also, could this be done without the raw_json table?



PS - Almost all the existing SE questions use a raw json string inside their queries. So that didn't work for me.
