/**
 * A postgres helper for aggregating a subquery (or other expression) into a JSONB array.
 *
 * ### Examples
 *
 * <!-- siteExample("select", "Nested array", 110) -->
 *
 * While kysely is not an ORM and it doesn't have the concept of relations, we do provide
 * helpers for fetching nested objects and arrays in a single query. In this example we
 * use the `jsonArrayFrom` helper to fetch person's pets along with the person's id.
 *
 * Please keep in mind that the helpers under the `kysely/helpers` folder, including
 * `jsonArrayFrom`, are not guaranteed to work with third party dialects. In order for
 * them to work, the dialect must automatically parse the `json` data type into
 * JavaScript JSON values like objects and arrays. Some dialects might simply return
 * the data as a JSON string. In these cases you can use the built in `ParseJSONResultsPlugin`
 * to parse the results.
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { jsonArrayFrom } from 'kysely/helpers/postgres'
 *
 * const result = await db
 *   .selectFrom('person')
 *   .select((eb) => [
 *     'id',
 *     jsonArrayFrom(
 *       eb.selectFrom('pet')
 *         .select(['pet.id as pet_id', 'pet.name'])
 *         .whereRef('pet.owner_id', '=', 'person.id')
 *         .orderBy('pet.name')
 *     ).as('pets')
 *   ])
 *   .execute()
 * ```
 *
 * The generated SQL (PostgreSQL):
 *
 * ```sql
 * select "id", (
 *   select coalesce(json_agg(agg), '[]') from (
 *     select "pet"."id" as "pet_id", "pet"."name"
 *     from "pet"
 *     where "pet"."owner_id" = "person"."id"
 *     order by "pet"."name"
 *   ) as agg
 * ) as "pets"
 * from "person"
