This allows you to easily calculate the sum of values from multiple tables by grouping them together with the common key.

9 min readOne common way to store table history in PostgreSQL is to create a separate table to track changes over time. This table can include columns such as the primary key of the original table, the timestamp of the change, the type of change (insert, update, delete), and the new and old values of the updated fields.Another approach is to use triggers to automatically log changes to a separate table whenever a modification is made to the original table.

4 min readTo merge two JSON arrays in PostgreSQL, you can use the jsonb_set function along with the jsonb_agg function. First, you need to convert the JSON arrays to jsonb type using jsonb_array_elements function. Then, use the jsonb_agg function to aggregate the elements into a single JSON array. Finally, use the jsonb_set function to merge the two JSON arrays into one.[rating:fb1c48f9-d45d-4887-9bae-8f42148c208d]How to merge two json arrays in PostgreSQL using the jsonb_concat function.
