I have a User table and a Log table. I need to update a field on the User table and insert a new entry on the Log table recording the update. I have written the statement for the update: UPDATE users SET free_shipping_until = spu.created_at::date + interval '1 year' FROM shipping_priority_users AS spu WHERE spu.role_id = #{role.id} and users.id = spu.user_id and spu.created_at is not null; For each update I need to also add (probably in a transaction) an insert statement on the Log table which has the following columns
user_id: string,
created_at: timestamp
data: jsonb
- The data column contains a jsonb value including the free_shipping_until value from the update.
data: {"free_shipping_until": [null, "2021-07-30"]}
- user_id should match the updated record's value - The created_at column is the current time, I'm using RoR and could interpolate the value with the expected format. I'm using PostgreSQL 12.3
