I have a custom json with several key-value pairs. I want to loop over the length of the array, and access each of their keys, and insert into the table. The problem I am facing is during loop the query is unable to access the value.
x
do $$
DECLARE
DECLARE fname varchar;
DECLARE lname varchar;
DECLARE StartDate timestamp;
DECLARE EndDate timestamp;
DECLARE DateText varchar;
DECLARE uniqueData jsonb = '[
{
"fname": "PERFFBB",
"lname": "PERFE59-AB1899A-A8CAE59-AB1899A-AB1899A-AB1899A-AB1899A-A8CAE59"
},
{
"fname": "PERFD34",
"lname": "PERFCD5-232D322-BD88CD5-232D322-232D322-232D322-232D322-BD88CD5"
},
]';
begin for r in 1..(jsonb_array_length(uniqueData) - 1)
loop
fname = uniqueData[r].fname;
lname = uniqueData[r].lname;
-- this is giving a problem. It is unable to access the key.
for z in 1..2
loop
StartDate = current_date::timestamp - concat(z, ' day')::interval;
EndDate = current_date::timestamp - concat(z - 1, ' day')::interval - interval '1 seconds';
DateText = (
to_char(
'now'::timestamp - concat(z, ' day')::interval,
'Mon DD, YYYY'
)
);
INSERT INTO table (
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4,
col5
)
values (
fname,
lname,
StartDate,
EndDate,
DateText
);
end loop;
end loop;
end;
$$;

Answer
the loop over jsonb array will look like this
DECLARE var1 RECORD;
FOR var1 IN
SELECT * FROM jsonb_to_recordset(uniqueData) as x(fname text, lname text)
LOOP
-- var1 contains fname and lname fields
fname = var1.fname;
lname = var1.lname;
..
END LOOP;
