Format JSONB column by taking the text value from same jsonb coulmn

CREATE TABLE test(id serial, data jsonb); INSERT INTO test(data) values ('dummydata-got-uploaded');

I need to correct the jsonb column value with below query.

update test set data={"addDet": data }::jsonb where id =1; ERROR: syntax error at or near “{” LINE 1: update test set data={“addDet”: data…

Expected:

id | data

1 | {"addDet": 'dummydata-got-uploaded' } `

Thanks in advance.

Answer

you might want to have a look at json_build_object function

update test set data=json_build_object('addDet', data )::jsonb where id =1;
