Hi, please excuse either my stupidity or naivety regarding this but I'm
a bit confused. Give the following basic table structure :

TABLE Data (
        ID INT NOT NULL,
        Markers jsonb NOT NULL
);

And the following data:

INSERT INTO Data (ID, Markers) VALUES(1, '[ {"idle": true, "items": 8,
"done": 0}, {"idle": true, "items": 8, "done": 0}]') ;

Prerequisite:
CREATE TYPE myrowtype AS (idle bool, items int, done int);

Couple examples:

How can I extract the value of the 'items' key either as two rows

SELECT (jsonb_populate_recordset(NULL::myrowtype, Markers)).items
FROM Data WHERE (ID = X);

and or a sum of both.

SELECT sum(items) FROM(
     SELECT (jsonb_populate_recordset(NULL::myrowtype, Markers)).items
     FROM Data WHERE (ID = X)
)AS t;

You should use a proper function "jsonb_populate_recordset" [1].

Hello Vitaly,

I have just tried this and of course it works, thank you ever so much for your time and effort I genuinely appreciate it.
