PostgreSQL 9.3+下的JSON，这么难看？

Question

是否有一种“不那么丑陋”的选项可以将字符串作为 text 并将整数作为 int？

JSON 树的所有叶子都有众所周知的数据类型，那么，如何告诉 PostgreSQL 查看数据类型？

问题的例子和丑陋的解决方案...有更少丑陋的解决方案吗？

SELECT version(); -- PostgreSQL 9.3

CREATE TABLE example (
  id serial PRIMARY KEY,
  info JSON 
);
INSERT INTO example (info) VALUES
  ('{"aa":10,"bb":"nonono nononon"}'),
  ('{"aa":10,"x":"etc"}'),  
  ('{"aa":9,"x":"etc etc"}');

-- SIX ERROS... But human-readable syntax
SELECT DISTINCT info->'aa' FROM example;    -- ex.1
SELECT * FROM example ORDER BY info->'aa';  -- ex.2
SELECT info->'x' FROM example WHERE info->'x' IS NOT NULL; -- ex.3
SELECT * FROM example WHERE info->'x'='etc';  -- ex.4
SELECT * FROM example WHERE (info->'x')::text='etc';  -- ex.5
SELECT * FROM example WHERE info->'aa'=10;  -- ex.6

-- UGLY (!!) six workarounds
SELECT DISTINCT (info->'aa')::text FROM example;        -- ex.1
SELECT * FROM example ORDER BY (info->'aa')::text::int; -- ex.2
SELECT info->'x' FROM example WHERE (info->'x')::text IS NOT NULL; -- ex.3
SELECT * FROM example WHERE trim((info->'x')::text,'"')='etc';  -- exs. 4 and 5
SELECT * FROM example WHERE (info->'aa')::text::int=10;  -- ex.6

使用->> json operator ，它返回一个 JSON 对象字段或一个 JSON 数组作为 text。

SELECT DISTINCT info->>'aa' FROM example;
SELECT * FROM example ORDER BY info->>'aa';
SELECT info->>'x' FROM example WHERE (info->>'x') IS NOT NULL;
SELECT * FROM example WHERE info->>'x'='etc';
SELECT * FROM example WHERE (info->>'aa')::int=10;  -- still needs a cast to int
