Basic Usage

Range queries are supported over JSON fields indexed as fast.
The following code block executes a range query over a JSON field: 
SELECT description, metadata
FROM mock_items
WHERE id @@@ paradedb.range(
    'metadata.attributes.quantity',
    int4range(2, 5, '()')
);

​
Datetime Values

Datetime values stored inside JSON must be RFC 3339 formatted in order to work with range queries. The following values are RFC 3339 compliant: 
-- UTC
2024-10-06T14:30:00Z
-- Timezone offset
2024-10-06T14:30:00+02:00
-- Fractional seconds
2024-10-06T14:30:00.456Z
The following values are not RFC 3339 compliant: 
-- No timezone
2024-10-06T14:30:00
-- Date only
2024-10-06
-- Time only
14:30:00

​
Datetime Handling

When querying datetime values on JSON fields using JSON query syntax, always set is_datetime: true to ensure the query is parsed as a date. 
SELECT id FROM mock_items WHERE mock_items @@@ '{
    "range": {
        "field": "metadata.attributes.tstz",
        "lower_bound": {"included": "2023-05-01T08:12:34Z"},
        "upper_bound": null,
        "is_datetime": true
    }
}'::jsonb
ORDER BY id;
