OBJECT_DELETE | Snowflake Documentation

Categories:

Semi-structured and structured data functions (Array/Object)

Returns an object containing the contents of the input (that is, source) object with one or more keys removed.

OBJECT_DELETE( <object>, <key1> [, <key2>, ... ] )

Copy

object

The source object.

key1, key2

Key to be omitted from the returned object.

This function returns a value of type OBJECT.

For structured OBJECTs:

• For the arguments that are keys, you must specify constants.

• If the specified key isn’t part of the OBJECT type definition, the call fails. For example, the following call fails because the OBJECT value doesn’t contain the specified key zip_code:

  SELECT OBJECT_DELETE( {'city':'San Mateo','state':'CA'}::OBJECT(city VARCHAR,state VARCHAR), 'zip_code' );
  

  Copy

  093201 (23001): Function OBJECT_DELETE: expected structured object to contain field zip_code but it did not.
  

• The function returns a structured OBJECT value. The type of the OBJECT value excludes the deleted key. For example, suppose that you remove the city key:

  SELECT
    OBJECT_DELETE(
      {'city':'San Mateo','state':'CA'}::OBJECT(city VARCHAR,state VARCHAR),
      'city'
    ) AS new_object,
    SYSTEM$TYPEOF(new_object);
  

  Copy

  The function returns an OBJECT value of the type OBJECT(state VARCHAR), which doesn’t include the city key.

  +-----------------+----------------------------+
  | NEW_OBJECT      | SYSTEM$TYPEOF(NEW_OBJECT)  |
  |-----------------+----------------------------|
  | {               | OBJECT(state VARCHAR)[LOB] |
  |   "state": "CA" |                            |
  | }               |                            |
  +-----------------+----------------------------+
  

• If the function removes all keys from the OBJECT value, the function returns an empty structured OBJECT value of the type OBJECT().

  SELECT
    OBJECT_DELETE(
      {'state':'CA'}::OBJECT(state VARCHAR),
      'state'
    ) AS new_object,
    SYSTEM$TYPEOF(new_object);
  

  Copy

  +------------+---------------------------+
  | NEW_OBJECT | SYSTEM$TYPEOF(NEW_OBJECT) |
  |------------+---------------------------|
  | {}         | OBJECT()[LOB]             |
  +------------+---------------------------+
  

  When the type of a structured OBJECT value includes key-value pairs, the names and types of those pairs are included in parentheses in the type (for example, OBJECT(city VARCHAR)). Because an empty structured OBJECT value contains no key-value pairs, the parentheses are empty.

This query returns an object that excludes the keys a and b from the source object:

SELECT OBJECT_DELETE(OBJECT_CONSTRUCT('a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3), 'a', 'b') AS object_returned;

Copy

+-----------------+
| OBJECT_RETURNED |
|-----------------|
| {               |
|   "c": 3        |
| }               |
+-----------------+

Create a table and insert rows with OBJECT values. This example uses OBJECT constants in the INSERT statements.

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE object_delete_example (
  id INTEGER,
  ov OBJECT);

INSERT INTO object_delete_example (id, ov)
  SELECT
    1,
    {
      'employee_id': 1001,
      'employee_date_of_birth': '12-10-2003',
      'employee_contact':
        {
          'city': 'San Mateo',
          'state': 'CA',
          'phone': '800-555‑0100'
        }
    };

INSERT INTO object_delete_example (id, ov)
  SELECT
    2,
    {
      'employee_id': 1002,
      'employee_date_of_birth': '01-01-1990',
      'employee_contact':
        {
          'city': 'Seattle',
          'state': 'WA',
          'phone': '800-555‑0101'
        }
    };

Copy

Query the table to see the data:

SELECT * FROM object_delete_example;

To delete the employee_date_of_birth key from the query output, execute the following query:

SELECT id,
       OBJECT_DELETE(ov, 'employee_date_of_birth') AS contact_without_date_of_birth
  FROM object_delete_example;
