Re: Index using in jsonb query

[SuperCiccio <sc_030268@xxxxxxxx>]

This is a kind of document, there are many other kinds, with different json structure. So, a general index would be better.
But even if I create a specific index

CREATE INDEX on datatable (((jsonfield#>>'{path1,path2}')::numeric));

it isn't used in such a query; it is used in this query:

select field1,field2 from datatable where (jsonfield#>>'{path1,path2}')::numeric = 1000;

Definitely, I didn't find a way to optimize a query that checks a range in a json subfield.

Is there a way to make the following query use some sort of indexing?

select field1,field2 from datatable where (jsonfield#>>'{path1,path2}')::numeric < 1000;

if the '{path1,path2}' part is constant, I'd think you could create an index on (jsonfield #>> '{path1,path2}')::numeric
