How To Query an array of JSONB

Question 1

I have table (orders) with jsonb[] column named steps in Postgres db.

I need create SQL query to select records where Step1 and Step2 and Step3 has success status

[
 {
  "step_name"=>"Step1",
  "status"=>"success",
  "timestamp"=>1636120240
  },
 {
  "step_name"=>"Step2",
  "status"=>"success",
  "timestamp"=>1636120275
 },
 {
  "step_name"=>"Step3",
  "status"=>"success",
  "timestamp"=>1636120279
 },
 {
  "step_name"=>"Step4", 
  "timestamp"=>1636120236
  "status"=>"success"
  }
]

table structure id | name | steps (jsonb)

Question 2

'Normalize' steps into a list of JSON items and check whether every one of them has "status":"success". BTW your example is not valid JSON. All => need to be replaced with : and a comma is missing.

select id, name from orders
where
(
 select bool_and(j->>'status' = 'success') 
 from jsonb_array_elements(steps) j
 where j->>'step_name' in ('Step1','Step2','Step3') -- if not all steps but only these are needed
);

Question 3

You can use JSON value contain operation for check condition exist or not

Demo

select
  *
from
  test
where
  steps @> '[{"step_name":"Step1","status":"success"},{"step_name":"Step2","status":"success"},{"step_name":"Step3","status":"success"}]'

Can we use this query with CASE...THEN... END clause ? For ex. if Step1','Step2','Step3' is success order has "Devilered" status
Yes, for sure. There are several options. I am trying however to make queries as declarative as possible and avoid hard-coding of details. But this is a matter of personal taste actually.
