SELECT * FROM JSON_TABLE('[]', 'strict $.a' COLUMNS (js2 text  PATH
'$' error on empty error on error) EMPTY ON ERROR);
should i expect it return one row?
is there any example to make it return one row from top level "EMPTY ON ERROR"?

first line seems strange, do we just simply change from "plan" to "scan"?

per previous discussion, should we refactor the above comment?

per coverage, the first part of the IF branch never executed.
i also found out that JsonTablePlanReset is quite similar to JsonTableRescan,
i don't fully understand these two functions though.


SELECT * FROM JSON_TABLE(jsonb'{"a": {"z":[1111]}, "b": 1,"c": 2, "d":
91}', '$' COLUMNS (
c int path '$.c',
d int path '$.d',
id1 for ordinality,
NESTED PATH '$.a.z[*]' columns (z int path '$', id for ordinality)
));
doc seems to say that duplicated ordinality columns in different nest
levels are not allowed?


"currentRow" naming seems misleading, generally, when we think of "row",
we think of several (not one) datums, or several columns.
but here, we only have one datum.
I don't have good optional naming though.

why not use exprCollation(colexpr) for tf->colcollations, similar to
exprType(colexpr)?




+-- Should fail (JSON arguments are not passed to column paths)
+SELECT *
+FROM JSON_TABLE(
+ jsonb '[1,2,3]',
+ '$[*] ? (@ < $x)'
+ PASSING 10 AS x
+ COLUMNS (y text FORMAT JSON PATH '$ ? (@ < $x)')
+ ) jt;
+ERROR:  could not find jsonpath variable "x"

the error message does not correspond to the comments intention.
also "y text FORMAT JSON" should be fine?

only the second last example really using the PASSING clause.
should the following query work just fine in this context?

create table s(js jsonb);
insert into s select '{"a":{"za":[{"z1": [11,2222]},{"z21": [22,
234,2345]}]},"c": 3}';
SELECT sub.* FROM s,JSON_TABLE(js, '$' passing 11 AS "b c", 1 + 2 as y
COLUMNS (xx int path '$.c ? (@ == $y)')) sub;


I thought the json and text data type were quite similar.
should these following two queries return the same result?

SELECT sub.* FROM s, JSON_TABLE(js, '$' COLUMNS(
xx int path '$.c',
nested PATH '$.a.za[1]' columns (NESTED PATH '$.z21[*]' COLUMNS (a12
jsonb path '$'))
))sub;

SELECT sub.* FROM s,JSON_TABLE(js, '$' COLUMNS (
c int path '$.c',
NESTED PATH '$.a.za[1]' columns (z json path '$')
)) sub;
