4 min readTo loop through JSON attributes in PostgreSQL, you can use the json_each_text function along with a LATERAL join. This function allows you to unnest a JSON object and return each key-value pair as a separate row. You can then access the key and value attributes in your query to manipulate the data as needed. This can be particularly useful when working with JSON data in PostgreSQL and needing to iterate over the attributes of a JSON object.
-
6 min readIn PostgreSQL, you can compare and take non-duplicate text by using the DISTINCT keyword in combination with the SELECT statement. This allows you to retrieve unique values from a column or set of columns in a table.
-
7 min readTo insert a comma separated document into PostgreSQL, you will first need to ensure that the table you are inserting the data into has the necessary columns to store the information from the document. You can then use the COPY command in PostgreSQL to load the comma separated document into the table. The COPY command allows you to read data from a file and insert it into a table in bulk.
-
4 min readTo convert a row_number query to a delete query on PostgreSQL, you can use a common table expression (CTE) to select the rows you want to delete based on the row number. Then, use the DELETE statement with a WHERE clause that references the CTE to delete the selected rows. This allows you to delete specific rows based on their row number without having to manually identify each row by its primary key or another unique identifier.
-
3 min readTo create a pivot table in PostgreSQL, you can use the crosstab function provided by the tablefunc extension. First, you need to install the tablefunc extension by running the following command:CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc;Next, you can use the crosstab function to pivot your data. The crosstab function takes three arguments: the SQL query that returns the source data, the SQL query that defines the row headers, and the SQL query that defines the column headers.
-
5 min readIn PostgreSQL, you can access the function arguments using the pg_proc system catalog. This catalog stores information about all user-defined functions in the database, including their argument types and names. By querying this catalog, you can retrieve the argument types and names of a specific function by specifying its name and namespace. Additionally, you can also use the pg_get_function_arguments function to retrieve the arguments of a specific function.
-
3 min readTo add a subquery to any operator in PostgreSQL, you can use parentheses to group the subquery in conjunction with the operator. The subquery can be used as the right-hand side of the operator to filter the results based on the subquery results. This allows you to customize and refine your query results by incorporating the subquery within the operator logic.
-
5 min readTo create a sequence for integers in PostgreSQL, you can use the command "CREATE SEQUENCE" followed by the name of the sequence and the initial value. For example, to create a sequence named "my_sequence" starting at 1, you can use the following SQL command:CREATE SEQUENCE my_sequence START 1;This will create a sequence that generates integer values starting from 1. You can also specify other parameters such as the increment value and the maximum value for the sequence.
-
6 min readTo import data from a TSV (tab-separated values) file into a PostgreSQL stored procedure, you can first create a temporary table that matches the structure of the data in the TSV file. Then, use the \copy command to load the data from the TSV file into the temporary table within the stored procedure. Once the data is loaded into the temporary table, you can manipulate and process it as needed within the stored procedure logic.
-
3 min readTo convert an interval to the number of seconds in PostgreSQL, you can use the EXTRACT function to extract the seconds from the interval and then do the necessary calculations to convert the interval to seconds. You can also use the DATE_PART function to achieve the same result. By using these functions, you can easily convert intervals to the number of seconds in PostgreSQL for further calculations or comparisons.
-
6 min readTo create a row number with a specific order in PostgreSQL, you can use the ROW_NUMBER() window function along with the ORDER BY clause. This function assigns a unique incremental integer value to each row based on the specified column ordering. By using the PARTITION BY clause in combination with ORDER BY, you can further refine the row numbering within specific groups of data. This allows you to generate customized row numbers according to your desired sequence or criteria in your SQL queries.
