Inserting an entry to JSON column in postgres

Question

I have a JSON entry like this, which I need to enter into a column (called values)

[\"Price Descending\",\"Price Ascending\",\"Name Ascending\",\"Date Descending         


        

Answer 1

If value is a json column, you can convert the text representation of the array directly.

INSERT INTO tag_sets (type, value)
VALUES (
  'sorting_options',
  '["Price Descending","Price Ascending","Name Ascending","Date Descending"]'::json
);

You could also use a method to generate an array, depending on your situation. Something like json_build_array.
