PostgreSQL joining using JSONB


I have this SQL:



CREATE TABLE test(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, data JSONB);
INSERT INTO test(data) VALUES('{"parent":null,"children":[2,3]}');
INSERT INTO test(data) VALUES('{"parent":1,"children":[4,5]}');
INSERT INTO test(data) VALUES('{"parent":1,"children":[]}');
INSERT INTO test(data) VALUES('{"parent":2,"children":[]}');
INSERT INTO test(data) VALUES('{"parent":2,"children":[]}');


that would give:



id | data
----+--------------------------------------
1 | {"parent": null, "children": [2, 3]}
2 | {"parent": 1, "children": [4, 5]}
3 | {"parent": 1, "children": []}
4 | {"parent": 2, "children": []}
5 | {"parent": 2, "children": []}


When doing normal one to many, it would show something like this:



SELECT *
FROM test x1
LEFT JOIN test x2
ON x1.id = (x2.data->>'parent')::INT;
id | data | id | data
----+--------------------------------------+----+-----------------------------------
1 | {"parent": null, "children": [2, 3]} | 2 | {"parent": 1, "children": [4, 5]}
1 | {"parent": null, "children": [2, 3]} | 3 | {"parent": 1, "children": []}
2 | {"parent": 1, "children": [4, 5]} | 4 | {"parent": 2, "children": []}
2 | {"parent": 1, "children": [4, 5]} | 5 | {"parent": 2, "children": []}
5 | {"parent": 2, "children": []} | |
4 | {"parent": 2, "children": []} | |
3 | {"parent": 1, "children": []} | |


how to join based on children (using LEFT JOIN or WHERE IN)? I've tried:



SELECT data->>'children' FROM test;
?column?
----------
[2, 3]
[4, 5]
[]
[]
[]

SELECT json_array_elements((data->>'children')::TEXT) FROM t...

SELECT json_array_elements((data->>'children')::JSONB) FROM ...
^

SELECT json_to_record((data->>'children')::JSON) FROM test;

SELECT * FROM json_to_record((test.data->>'children')::JSON);
