Hello
In Czech Postgres mailing list was user request for serialization to json
without null values.
He needs a similar behave like XMLFOREST has - it ignores NULLs
In some situations and conversions, when your table is +/- sparse matrix,
this request is valid
postgres=# select hstore(omega) from omega;
hstore
─────────────────────────────────
"a"=>"10", "b"=>"20", "c"=>NULL
"a"=>NULL, "b"=>"20", "c"=>"30"
(2 rows)
Proposed function
postgres=# select hstore(omega, ignore_nulls := true) from omega;
hstore
─────────────────────────────────
"a"=>"10", "b"=>"20"
"b"=>"20", "c"=>"30"
(2 rows)
What do you thinking about this proposal?
Regards
Pavel
