HOW TO CREATE INDEX ON JSON TABLE AND HOW TO CHECK THE INDEX WHETHER PROPERLY WORKING OR NOT

  • index is fast fetching data without going full table scan.
Here  i will explain how to create index on json data type table and how to  work index on json data type.
--check the sales table for already having any index or not.
postgres=# \d sales
       Table "public.sales"
   Column   |  Type   | Modifiers 
------------+---------+-----------
 id         | integer | not null
 sales_info | json    | not null
Indexes:
    "sales_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)


postgres=# \di sales
No matching relations found.  
--already we have sales table now let us go to create indicies on any (even nested) JSON field:
create unique index ind_name
on sales ((sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item'));
--Now check the table index is properly created or not using \di,\dt,pg_indexes.
postgres=# \di ind_name
              List of relations
 Schema |   Name   | Type  |  Owner   | Table 
--------+----------+-------+----------+-------
 public | ind_name | index | postgres | sales
(1 row)



Deleting json objectspostgres=# \d sales
       Table "public.sales"
   Column   |  Type   | Modifiers 
------------+---------+-----------
 id         | integer | not null
 sales_info | json    | not null
Indexes:
    "sales_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "ind_name" UNIQUE, btree (((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::text) ->> 'total_item'::text))



postgres=# select tablename,indexname,indexdef from pg_indexes where tablename='sales';
 tablename | indexname  |                                                    indexdef                       
                              
-----------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
 sales     | sales_pkey | CREATE UNIQUE INDEX sales_pkey ON sales USING btree (id)
 sales     | ind_name   | CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ind_name ON sales USING btree ((((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::te
xt) ->> 'total_item'::text)))
(2 rows)
 From below example index is  properly working becouse we already created unique index on on json column of "total_item" unique index will not accept duplicate value if you try to insert duplicate values it will throw errors,i hope you understood it from below example.
postgres=# select * from sales;
 id |                                    sales_info                                    
----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2 | { "customer": "ABU", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "badam","total_item": 5}}
  3 | { "customer": "UMAR", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "mobile","total_item": 1}}
  5 | { "customer": "NIJAM", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "choclate","total_item": 9}}
  1 | { "customer": "ABU", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "badam","total_item": 6}}
  4 | { "customer": "UMAR", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "mobile","total_item": 8}}
(5 rows)


postgres=# INSERT INTO SALES VALUES
 (9,'{ "customer": "UMAR", "PRODUCTS": {"product_name": "mobile","total_item": 8}}'
 );
ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "ind_name"
DETAIL:  Key (((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::text) ->> 'total_item'::text))=(8) already exists. 
another example for json index is properly working or not
HERE LET US consider  sales table having above 20000 json records for making practical json index , This way we can begin to see some performance implications when dealing with JSON data in Postgres, as well as how to solve them.

SELECT count(*) FROM sales WHERE sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item'= '1';
count
-------
4937 
(1 row) 
--taking explain plan for without index
postgres=# explain analyze SELECT sales_info ->>'customer' as customer_name from sales 
where sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item'= '1';
Aggregate (cost=335.12..335.13 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=4.421..4.421 rows=1 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on cards (cost=0.00..335.00 rows=50 width=0) (actual time=0.016..3.961 rows=4938 loops=1) 
    Filter: (((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::text) ->> 'total_item'::text) = '1'::text) 
    Rows Removed by Filter: 5062 
Total runtime: 4.475 ms$cd /db_data/data/pg_log
$tail -f  postgresql-Tue.log  
Now, that wasn’t that slow of a query at 4.5ms, but let’s see if we can improve it.
CREATE INDEX ind_name1 ON sales ((sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item')); 
If we run the same query which now has an index, we end up cutting the time in half.
SELECT count(*) FROM sales WHERE sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item'= '1';
count
-------
4937 
(1 row)

postgres=# explain analyze SELECT sales_info ->>'customer' as customer_name from sales 
where sales_info ->'PRODUCTS'->>'total_item'= '1';
Aggregate (cost=118.97..118.98 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=2.122..2.122 rows=1 loops=1) -> Bitmap Heap Scan on cards (cost=4.68..118.84 rows=50 width=0) (actual time=0.711..1.664 rows=4938 loops=1) 
    Recheck Cond: (((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::text) ->> 'total_item'::text) = '1'::text)  
    Heap Blocks: exact=185 
    -> Bitmap Index Scan on idxfinished (cost=0.00..4.66 rows=50 width=0) (actual time=0.671..0.671 rows=4938 loops=1) 
    Index Cond:(((sales_info -> 'PRODUCTS'::text) ->> 'total_item'::text) = '1'::text) 
Total runtime: 2.175 ms 
Our query is now taking advantage of the ind_name1 index we created, and the query time has been approximately cut in half.
