I thing the operator 'jsonb-jsonb' behavior in such case is not obvious. How to understand the result is not like that: # select '{"a":1, "b":2}'::jsonb - '{"b":2, "a":4}'::jsonb; ?column? ---------- {"a": -3, "b": 0} (1 row) P.S.: I guess an _operator_ jsonb+jsonb doesn't exist by the same way… -- Best regards, Vitaly Burovoy -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
