` | NESTED [ PATH ] json_path_specification [ AS json_path_name ] COLUMNS ( json_table_column [, ...] ) NESTED [ PATH ] json_path_specification [ AS json_path_name ] COLUMNS ( json_table_column [, ...] ) ` "json_path_specification" should be "path_expression"? your explanation about memory usage is clear to me! The following are minor cosmetic issues while applying v2. +errmsg("JSON path expression in JSON_VALUE should return singleton scalar item"))); "singleton" is not intuitive to me. Then I looked around. https://www.postgresql.org/search/?u=%2Fdocs%2F16%2F&q=singleton There is only one appearance of "singleton" in the manual. then I wonder what's the difference between 22038 ERRCODE_SINGLETON_SQL_JSON_ITEM_REQUIRED 2203F ERRCODE_SQL_JSON_SCALAR_REQUIRED i assume '{"hello":"world"}' is a singleton, but not a scalar item? if so, then I think the error message within the "if (count > 1)" branch in JsonPathValue should use ERRCODE_SINGLETON_SQL_JSON_ITEM_REQUIRED within the "if (!IsAJsonbScalar(res))" branch should use ERRCODE_SQL_JSON_SCALAR_REQUIRED ? errhint("Use WITH WRAPPER clause to wrap SQL/JSON item sequence into array."))); maybe errhint("Use WITH WRAPPER clause to wrap SQL/JSON items into array."))); or errhint("Use WITH WRAPPER clause to wrap SQL/JSON item sequences into array."))); + if (column_name) + ereport(ERROR, + (errcode(ERRCODE_MORE_THAN_ONE_SQL_JSON_ITEM), + errmsg("JSON path expression for column \"%s\" should return singleton scalar item", + column_name))); + else + ereport(ERROR, + (errcode(ERRCODE_SQL_JSON_SCALAR_REQUIRED), + errmsg("JSON path expression in JSON_VALUE should return singleton scalar item"))); the error message seems similar, but the error code is different? both within "if (count > 1)" and "if (!IsAJsonbScalar(res))" branch. in src/include/utils/jsonpath.h, comments /* SQL/JSON item */ should be /* SQL/JSON query functions */ elog(ERROR, "unrecognized json wrapper %d", wrapper); should be elog(ERROR, "unrecognized json wrapper %d", (int) wrapper);
