Combine two JSON objects in PostgreSQL

Question

I have two JSON rows in a PostgreSQL 9.4 table:

      the_column      
----------------------
 {\"evens\": [2, 4, 6]}
 {\"odds\": [1, 3, 5]}

Answer 1

Use json_agg() to get an array:

SELECT json_agg(source_column) AS the_column    
FROM   tbl;

Or json_each() in a LATERAL join and json_object_agg() to assemble elements:

SELECT json_object_agg(key, value) AS the_column
FROM   tbl, json_each(data);
