* [PATCH v46 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v42 2/2] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v43 2/2] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v49 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v43 2/2] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v44 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v41 2/2] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v48 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v43 2/2] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v45 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v45 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v45 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v45 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v44 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.

* [PATCH v44 2/3] Filling gaps in jsonb
@ 2020-12-31 14:19 Dmitrii Dolgov <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 171+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-12-31 14:19 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduces two new modes for jsonb assignment:

* Appending array elements on the specified position, gaps filled with
nulls (similar to JavaScript behavior). This mode also instructs to
create the whole path in a jsonb object if some part of the path (more
than just the last element) is not present.

* Assigning keeps array positions consistent by prevent prepending of
elements.

Originally proposed by Nikita Glukhov based on polymorphic subscripting
patch, but transformed into an independent change.
