Remove key/value from jsonb data structure

If you store jsonb in your postgres database, you will find yourself manipulating json data periodically in postgres.

Removing a key/value from a jsonb object is very simple, just use the subtraction operator.

> select '{"a": 1, "b": 2}'::jsonb - 'a';
 ?column?
----------
 {"b": 2}
(1 row)
