postgres jsonb return specific paths of json object Consider the following jsonb object:

{
  "track": {
    "segments": [
      {
        "location":   [ 47.763, 13.4034 ],
        "startTime": "2018-10-14 10:05:14",
        "HR": 73
      },
      {
        "location":   [ 47.706, 13.2635 ],
        "startTime": "2018-10-14 10:39:21",
        "HR": 135
      }
    ]
  }
}


I would like to query the object, to return only the following jsonb object, given the folloiwng paths:


track.segments.hr


{
  "track": {
    "segments": [
      {
        "HR": 73
      },
      {
        "HR": 135
      }
    ]
  }
}


How can i formulate the query, to retrieve this kind of data from the json, and still return the json object, with only the specified paths?
You almost certainly can't. 

JSON doesn't [yet] have the equivalent of XML's XSLTransform, which could do what you describe, but [still] only after retrieving the entire blob of XML to work with. 

Databases are really good at finding little bits of stuff and putting them together; they're far less good and taking large blobs of stuff and pulling them apart. 

I assume what you're showing is a simplification but what you've shown could be done easily with ordinary, relational tables.
