问题
In postgresql 9.4 the new JSONB was incorporated.
On a live DB in postgresql 9.3 I have a JSON column.
I want to migrate it to JSONB.
Assuming I migrated the DB first to 9.4 (using pg_upgrade). What do I do next?
回答1:
ALTER TABLE table_with_json
ALTER COLUMN my_json
SET DATA TYPE jsonb
USING my_json::jsonb;
回答2:
In the context of Rails, here is an ActiveRecord migration alternative:
def change
reversible do |dir|
dir.up { change_column :models, :attribute, 'jsonb USING CAST(attribute AS jsonb)' }
dir.down { change_column :models, :attribute, 'json USING CAST(attribute AS json)' }
end
end
I don't know how this compares to the accepted answer performance-wise, but I tested this on a table with 120 000 records, each record having four json columns and it took me about a minute to migrate that table. Of course, I guess it depends on how complex the json structure is.
Also, notice that if your existing records have a default value of {}, you have to add to the above statements default: {}, because otherwise you'll have jsonb columns, but the default value will remain as '{}'::json.
