PostgreSQLでjsonb列の値を複数の列に変換する

9.4では簡単です（LATERAL結合関数とjsonb関数を使用）：

    postgres=# SELECT * 
                  FROM sample, jsonb_to_record(jsonb, true) AS x(a text, b text);
     id |            jsonb             |    date     |  a   |   b    
    ----+------------------------------+-------------+------+--------
      1 | {"a": "a", "b": "b"}         | 2014-01-06  | a    | b
      2 | {"a": "a", "b": "b"}         | 2014-01-06  | a    | b
      3 | {"a": "Ahoj", "b": "Nazdar"} | 2014-01-06  | Ahoj | Nazdar
    (3 rows)

正確な結果：

postgres=# SELECT id, a, b, date 
               FROM sample, jsonb_to_record(jsonb, true) AS x(a text, b text);
 id |  a   |   b    |    date    
----+------+--------+------------
  1 | a    | b      | 2014-01-06
  2 | a    | b      | 2014-01-06
  3 | Ahoj | Nazdar | 2014-01-06
