How to parse a json string to flat rows in SQL Server? - json

I have data like below in a file which I read into a variable in SQL Server:
{
"TypeCode": [
{
"DestinationValue": "Private",
"SourceValue": "1"
},
{
"DestinationValue": "Public",
"SourceValue": "2"
}
],
"TypeDesc": [
{
"DestinationValue": "Hello",
"SourceValue": "1"
},
{
"DestinationValue": "Bye",
"SourceValue": "2"
}
]
}
Now I need to convert this into data like below:
Name SourceValue DestValue
--------------------------------------------
TypeCode 1 Hello
TypeCode 2 Bye
Concern is - there can be many such arrays in this JSON and code should be automatically able to handle all of them without changing the code.
How can we achieve this?

You need to parse the input JSON using OPENJSON() twice (with default and explicit schema):
SELECT j1.[key] AS Name, j2.SourceValue, j2.DestinationValue
FROM OPENJSON(#json) j1
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(j1.[value]) WITH (
SourceValue nvarchar(100) '$.SourceValue',
DestinationValue nvarchar(100) '$.DestinationValue'
) j2
Result:
Name SourceValue DestinationValue
TypeCode 1 Private
TypeCode 2 Public
TypeDesc 1 Hello
TypeDesc 2 Bye

Conditionally update JSON column

I have a table which has ID & JSON columns. ID is auto incrementing column. Here are my sample data.
Row 1
1 | {
"HeaderInfo":
{
"Name": "ABC",
"Period": "2010",
"Code": "123"
},
"HData":
[
{ "ID1": "1", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "A", "Desc": "asdf" },
{ "ID1": "2", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "B", "Desc": "pqr" },
{ "ID1": "3", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "C", "Desc": "xyz" }
]
}
Row 2
2 | {
"HeaderInfo":
{
"Name": "ABC",
"Period": "2010",
"Code": "123"
},
"HData":
[
{ "ID1": "76", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "X", "Desc": "asdf" },
{ "ID1": "25", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "Y", "Desc": "pqr" },
{ "ID1": "52", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "Z", "Desc": "lmno" },
{ "ID1": "52", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "B", "Desc": "xyz" }
]
}
and it keep goes. Items inside the HData section is infinite. It can be any numbers of items.
On this JSON I need to update the Value = "$2.00" where "Code" is "B". I should be able to do this with 2 scenarios. My parameter inputs are #id=2, #code="B", #value="$2.00". #id sometimes will be null. So,
If #id is null then the update statement should go through all records and update the Value="$2.00" for all items inside the HData section which has Code="B".
If #id = 2 then the update statement should update only the second row which Id is 2 for the items which Code="b"
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks
See DB Fiddle for an example.
declare #id bigint = 2
, #code nvarchar(8) = 'B'
, #value nvarchar(8) = '$2.00'
update a
set json = JSON_MODIFY(json, '$.HData[' + HData.[key] + '].Value', #value)
from so75416277 a
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON (json, '$.HData') HData
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON (HData.Value, '$')
WITH (
ID1 bigint
, Value nvarchar(8)
, Code nvarchar(8)
, [Desc] nvarchar(8)
) as HDataItem
WHERE id = #id
AND HDataItem.Code = #Code
The update / set statement says we want to replace the value of json with a new generated value / functions exactly the same as it would in any other context; e.g. update a set json = 'something' from so75416277 a where a.column = 'some condition'
The JSON_MODIFY does the manipulation of our json.
The first input is the original json field's value
The second is the path to the value to be updated.
The third is the new value
'$.HData[' + HData.[key] + '].Value' says we go from our JSON's root ($), find the HData field, filter the array of values for the one we're after (i.e. key here is the array item's index), then use the Value field of this item.
key is a special term; where we don't have a WITH block accompanying our OPENJSON statement we get back 3 items: key, value and type; key being the identifier, value being the content, and type saying what sort of content that is.
CROSS APPLY allows us to perform logic on a value from a single DB rowto return potentially multiple rows; e.g. like a join but against its own contents.
OPENJSON (json, '$.HData') HData says to extract the HData field from our json column, and return this with the table alias HData; as we've not included a WITH, this HData column has 3 fields; key, value, and type, as mentioned above (this is the same key we used in our JSONMODIFY).
The next OPENJSON works on HData.Value; i.e. the contents of the array item under HData. Here we take the object from this array (i.e. that's the root from the current context; hence $), and use WITH to parse it into a specific structure; i.e. ID1, Value, Code, and Desc (brackets around Desc as it's a keyword). We give this the alias HDataItem.
Finally we filter for the bit of the data we're interested in; i.e. on id to get the row we want to update, then on HDataItem.Code so we only update those array items with code 'B'.
Try the below SP.
CREATE PROC usp_update_75416277
(
#id Int = null,
#code Varchar(15),
#value Varchar(15)
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #SQLStr Varchar(MAX)=''
;WITH CTE
AS
( SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(PARTITION BY YourTable.Json ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))RowNo,*
FROM YourTable
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(YourTable.Json,'$.HData')
WITH (
ID1 Int '$.ID1',
Value Varchar(20) '$.Value',
Code Varchar(20) '$.Code',
[Desc] Varchar(20) '$.Desc'
) HData
WHERE (#id IS NULL OR ID =#id)
)
SELECT #SQLStr=#SQLStr+' UPDATE YourTable
SET [JSON]=JSON_MODIFY(YourTable.Json,
''$.HData['+CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),RowNo-1)+'].Value'',
'''+CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX),#value)+''') '+
'WHERE ID ='+CONVERT(Varchar(15),CTE.ID) +' '
FROM CTE
WHERE Code=#code
AND (#id IS NULL OR ID =#id)
EXEC( #SQLStr)
END

How can I extract values from a json string

I need to extract values from the following json string:
{
"person": {
"foo": {
"Point": {
"Value": "27.8",
"Id": "bar"
}
}
}
}
The results should be a table:
person
Point
Id
foo
27.9
bar
You may consider below since a person name is being used as a key of json object.
CREATE TEMP FUNCTION json_keys(input STRING) RETURNS Array<String>
LANGUAGE js AS """
return Object.keys(JSON.parse(input));
""";
CREATE TEMP FUNCTION json_values(input STRING) RETURNS String
LANGUAGE js AS """
return JSON.stringify(Object.values(JSON.parse(input))[0])
""";
WITH json_data AS (
SELECT '{"person": {"foo": {"Point": { "Value": "27.8", "Id": "bar" }}}}' json
)
SELECT json_keys(p)[SAFE_OFFSET(0)] AS Person,
JSON_VALUE(json_values(p), '$.Point.Value') AS Point,
JSON_VALUE(json_values(p), '$.Point.Id') AS Id
FROM json_data, UNNEST([JSON_QUERY(json, '$.person')]) p;
+--------+-------+-----+
| Person | Point | Id |
+--------+-------+-----+
| foo | 27.8 | bar |
+--------+-------+-----+
Or using regexp functions if a json has fixed schema.
SELECT REGEXP_EXTRACT(json, r'"person"\s*:\s*{\s*"(.*?)"\s*:') AS Person,
REGEXP_EXTRACT(json, r'"Value"\s*:\s*"(.*)"\s*,') AS Point,
REGEXP_EXTRACT(json, r'"Id"\s*:\s*"(.*)"') AS Id,
FROM json_data;
Consider also below example - hope you can apply to your use case
WITH your_table AS (
SELECT '{"person": {"foo": {"Point": { "Value": "27.8", "Id": "bar" }}}}' json_string
)
select json_string,
regexp_extract(json_string, r'"person": {"([^"]+)":') as person,
json_value(point, '$.Value') as point,
json_value(point, '$.Id') as id
from your_table,
unnest([regexp_extract(json_string, r'"person": {"[^"]+": {"Point": ({[^{}]+})}}')]) as point
with output

how to add key-value pair in json root node and convert it into table using SQL server

I have table people and it's maintain Four column which is Name ,TagName ,Value , Location.
I want to convert the tagname and value in json with name and location column as rootnode (Name & location same for multiple records)
Need output as :
{
"{"Name":"EMP1","Location":"mumbai"}": [
{
"TagName": "1",
"Value": "844.17769999999996"
},
{
"TagName": "abc",
"Value": "837.43679999999995"
},
{
"TagName": "pqr",
"Value": "0"
},
{
"TagName": "XYZ",
"Value": "1049.2429999999999"
}
]
}
please check the below query, In which I am trying to create json string using json path but stuck in root node.
SELECT TagName
,Value
FROM dbo.people
FOR JSON PATH, ROOT('')---
when I convert the above json into tabular format, required output as :
Name | Location |TagName| Value
EMP1 | Mumbai |1 | 844.17769999999996|
EMP1 | Mumbai |abc | 837.43679999999995|
.....
Your expected output is not a valid JSON, but you are probably looking for something like this:
Table:
CREATE TABLE People (
[Name] varchar(10),
[Location] varchar(50),
[TagName] varchar(3),
[Value] numeric(20, 14)
)
INSERT INTO People ([Name], [Location], [TagName], [Value])
VALUES
('EMP1', 'Mumbai', '1', 844.17769999999996),
('EMP1', 'Mumbai', 'abc', 837.43679999999995),
('EMP2', 'Mumbai', 'abc', 837.43679999999995)
Statement:
SELECT DISTINCT p.[Name], p.[Location], c.Items
FROM People p
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT [TagName], [Value]
FROM People
WHERE [Name] = p.[Name] AND [Location] = p.[Location]
FOR JSON AUTO
) c (Items)
FOR JSON PATH
Result:
[
{
"Name":"EMP1",
"Location":"Mumbai",
"Items":[
{
"TagName":"1",
"Value":844.17769999999996
},
{
"TagName":"abc",
"Value":837.43679999999995
}
]
},
{
"Name":"EMP2",
"Location":"Mumbai",
"Items":[
{
"TagName":"abc",
"Value":837.43679999999995
}
]
}
]
If you want to parse the generated JSON, you need to use OPENJSON() twice:
Generated JSON:
DECLARE #json varchar(max) = N'[
{
"Name":"EMP1",
"Location":"Mumbai",
"Items":[
{
"TagName":"1",
"Value":844.17769999999996
},
{
"TagName":"abc",
"Value":837.43679999999995
}
]
},
{
"Name":"EMP2",
"Location":"Mumbai",
"Items":[
{
"TagName":"abc",
"Value":837.43679999999995
}
]
}
]'
Statement:
SELECT j1.Name, j1.Location, j2.TagName, j2.Value
FROM OPENJSON(#json) WITH (
[Name] varchar(10) '$.Name',
[Location] varchar(50) '$.Location',
[Items] nvarchar(max) '$.Items' AS JSON
) j1
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(j1.Items) WITH (
[TagName] varchar(3) '$.TagName',
[Value] numeric(20, 14) '$.Value'
) j2

SQL Server For JSON Path dynamic column name

We are exploring the JSON feature in SQL Sever and for one of the scenarios we want to come up with a SQL which can return a JSON like below
[
{
"field": {
"uuid": "uuid-field-1"
},
"value": {
"uuid": "uuid-value" //value is an object
}
},
{
"field": {
"uuid": "uuid-field-2"
},
"value": "1". //value is simple integer
}
... more rows
]
The value field can be a simple integer/string or a nested object.
We are able to come up with a table which looks like below:
field.uuid | value.uuid | value|
------------|---------- | -----|
uuid-field-1| value-uuid | null |
uuid-field-2| null | 1 |
... more rows
But as soon as we apply for json path, it fails saying
Property 'value' cannot be generated in JSON output due to a conflict with another column name or alias. Use different names and aliases for each column in SELECT list.
Is it possible to do it somehow generate this? The value will either be in the value.uuid or value not both?
Note: We are open to possibility of if we can convert each row to individual JSON and add all of them in an array.
select
json_query((select v.[field.uuid] as 'uuid' for json path, without_array_wrapper)) as 'field',
value as 'value',
json_query((select v.[value.uuid] as 'uuid' where v.[value.uuid] is not null for json path, without_array_wrapper)) as 'value'
from
(
values
('uuid-field-1', 'value-uuid1', null),
('uuid-field-2', null, 2),
('uuid-field-3', 'value-uuid3', null),
('uuid-field-4', null, 4)
) as v([field.uuid], [value.uuid], value)
for json auto;--, without_array_wrapper;
The reason for this error is that (as is mentioned in the documentation) ... FOR JSON PATH clause uses the column alias or column name to determine the key name in the JSON output. If an alias contains dots, the PATH option creates nested objects. In your case value.uuid and value both generate a key with name value.
I can suggest an approach (probably not the best one), which uses JSON_MODIFY() to generate the expected JSON from an empty JSON array:
Table:
CREATE TABLE Data (
[field.uuid] varchar(100),
[value.uuid] varchar(100),
[value] int
)
INSERT INTO Data
([field.uuid], [value.uuid], [value])
VALUES
('uuid-field-1', 'value-uuid', NULL),
('uuid-field-2', NULL, 1),
('uuid-field-3', NULL, 3),
('uuid-field-4', NULL, 4)
Statement:
DECLARE #json nvarchar(max) = N'[]'
SELECT #json = JSON_MODIFY(
#json,
'append $',
JSON_QUERY(
CASE
WHEN [value.uuid] IS NOT NULL THEN (SELECT d.[field.uuid], [value.uuid] FOR JSON PATH, WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER)
WHEN [value] IS NOT NULL THEN (SELECT d.[field.uuid], [value] FOR JSON PATH, WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER)
END
)
)
FROM Data d
SELECT #json
Result:
[
{
"field":{
"uuid":"uuid-field-1"
},
"value":{
"uuid":"value-uuid"
}
},
{
"field":{
"uuid":"uuid-field-2"
},
"value":1
},
{
"field":{
"uuid":"uuid-field-3"
},
"value":3
},
{
"field":{
"uuid":"uuid-field-4"
},
"value":4
}
]

How to update a nested array in JSON in mssql

I am using mssql and one column is having json data, I want to update that part of that json which is an array, by passing the id.
{
"customerName":"mohan",
"custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd",
"feeds":[
{
"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e",
"feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc",
"format":"Excel",
"sources":[
{
"sourceId":69042417,
"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"
},
{
"sourceId":69042419,
"name":"Turk Max"
}
]
},
{
"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e",
"feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg",
"format":"XmlTV",
"sources":[
{
"sourceId":69042417,
"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"
},
{
"sourceId":69042419,
"name":"Turk Max"
}
]
}
]
}
suppose if I am going to pass customerId and feedId, it should update the whole feed with the feed which I have passed.
I tried with below query, but no help.
UPDATE
ExtractsConfiguration.dbo.Customers
SET
configJSON = JSON_MODIFY(configJSON,'$.feeds[]',{"feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc"})
WHERE
CustomerId = '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c'
AND json_query(configJSON,'$.feeds[].feedId'='57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e');
This, #mohan, is a tricky one and I took it on as a challenge to myself. There is a way to update a nested JSON object's value like you're asking, however, it's not as straight forward as it seems.
Because you're working within an array, you need the array's index in order to update a nested value. In your case you don't know the index within the array, however, you do have a key-value you can reference, in this case, your feedName.
In order to update your value, you first need to "unpack" your JSON so that you can filter for a specific feedName, "ccsdcdscsdc" in your example.
Here is an example that you can run in SSMS that will get you moving in the right direction.
The first thing I created was #Customers TABLE variable to mimic the data structure you showed in your example and inserted your sample data.
DECLARE #Customers TABLE ( CustomerId VARCHAR(50), configJSON VARCHAR(MAX) );
INSERT INTO #Customers ( CustomerID, configJSON ) VALUES ( '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c', '{"customerName":"mohan","custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd","feeds":[{"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]},{"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg","format":"XmlTV","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]}]}' );
Running a SELECT against #Customers returns the following:
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CustomerId | configJSON |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c | {"customerName":"mohan","custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd","feeds":[{"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]},{"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg","format":"XmlTV","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]}]} |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Next, I matched your rules for the update: Update a nested JSON value that is restricted to a specific CustomerId (9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c) and a feedName (ccsdcdscsdc).
Like I mentioned, we need to "unpack" the JSON first because we don't know the specific key (index) value that should be updated. The easiest way to accomplish both tasks (unpack/update) is to use a Common Table Expression (CTE).
So, here's how I did that:
;WITH Config_CTE AS (
SELECT * FROM #Customers AS Customer
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON( configJSON, '$.feeds' ) AS Config
WHERE
Customer.CustomerId = '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c'
AND JSON_VALUE( Config.value, '$.feedName' ) = 'ccsdcdscsdc'
)
UPDATE Config_CTE
SET configJSON = JSON_MODIFY( configJSON, '$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + '].format', 'MS Excel' );
The CTE allows us to "unpack" (I made this word up as it seemed fitting) the JSON contained in configJSON, which then allows us to apply a filter against the feedName.
AND JSON_VALUE( Config.value, '$.feedName' ) = 'ccsdcdscsdc'
You'll also note that we included the CustomerId rule:
Customer.CustomerId = '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c'
Both the CustomerId and feedName could easily be SQL variables.
So, what did this do? If we were to look at Configs_CTE resultset ( by changing the UPDATE... to SELECT * FROM Config_CTE ) we would see:
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------+
| CustomerId | configJSON | key | value | type |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------+
| 9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c | {"customerName":"mohan","custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd","feeds":[{"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]},{"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg","format":"XmlTV","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]}]} | 0 | {"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]} | 5 |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+------+
There is a bunch of information here, but what we really care about is the "key" column as this contains the feed index ( in this case 0 ) that we want to update.
With that, was able to complete the request and UPDATE format from "Excel" to "MS Excel" for the "feed" with the feedName of "ccsdcdscsdc".
This guy ( note the use of Config_CTE.[key] ):
UPDATE Config_CTE
SET configJSON = JSON_MODIFY( configJSON, '$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + '].format', 'MS Excel' );
Did it work? Let's look at the updated table's data.
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CustomerId | configJSON |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c | {"customerName":"mohan","custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd","feeds":[{"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"MS Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]},{"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg","format":"XmlTV","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]}]} |

Well, there you have it, format for feedName "ccsdcdscsdc" has been updated from "Excel" to "MS Excel". I was not clear on what you were trying to update, so I used format for my testing/example.
I hope this gets you moving in the right direction with your task. Happy coding!
Here's the complete example that can be run in SSMS:
-- CREATE A CUSTOMERS TABLE TO MIMIC SCHEMA --
DECLARE #Customers TABLE ( CustomerId VARCHAR(50), configJSON VARCHAR(MAX) );
INSERT INTO #Customers ( CustomerID, configJSON ) VALUES ( '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c', '{"customerName":"mohan","custId":"e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd","feeds":[{"feedId":"57f221d0-c310-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"ccsdcdscsdc","format":"Excel","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]},{"feedId":"59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e","feedName":"dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg","format":"XmlTV","sources":[{"sourceId":69042417,"name":"TV 2 Livsstil"},{"sourceId":69042419,"name":"Turk Max"}]}]}' );
-- SHOW CURRENT DATA --
SELECT * FROM #Customers;
-- UPDATE "format" FROM "Excel" to "MS Excel" FOR feedName: ccsdcdscsdc --
WITH Config_CTE AS (
SELECT * FROM #Customers AS Customer
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON( configJSON, '$.feeds' ) AS Config
WHERE
Customer.CustomerId = '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c'
AND JSON_VALUE( Config.value, '$.feedName' ) = 'ccsdcdscsdc'
)
UPDATE Config_CTE
SET configJSON = JSON_MODIFY( configJSON, '$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + '].format', 'MS Excel' );
-- SHOW UPDATED DATA --
SELECT * FROM #Customers;
EDIT:
i wanted to update the feed with the given feedId with the whole new
feed
To replace one "feed" with an entirely new feed, you may do the following:
-- REPLACE AN ENTIRE JSON ARRAY OBJECT --
DECLARE #MyNewJson NVARCHAR(MAX) = '{"feedId": "this_is_an_entirely_new_node","feedName": "ccsdcdscsdc","format": "NewFormat","sources": [{"sourceId": 1,"name": "New Source 1"},{"sourceId": 2,"name": "New Source 2"}]}';
WITH Config_CTE AS (
SELECT * FROM #Customers AS Customer
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON( configJSON, '$.feeds' ) AS Config
WHERE
Customer.CustomerId = '9ee07040-c001-11e9-b29a-55eb3439cd7c'
AND JSON_VALUE( Config.value, '$.feedName' ) = 'ccsdcdscsdc'
)
UPDATE Config_CTE
SET configJSON = JSON_MODIFY( configJSON, '$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + ']', JSON_QUERY( #MyNewJson ) );
After running this, the feeds now appear as:
{
"customerName": "mohan",
"custId": "e35273d0-c002-11e9-8188-a1525f580dfd",
"feeds": [
{
"feedId": "this_is_an_entirely_new_node",
"feedName": "ccsdcdscsdc",
"format": "NewFormat",
"sources": [
{
"sourceId": 1,
"name": "New Source 1"
},
{
"sourceId": 2,
"name": "New Source 2"
}
]
},
{
"feedId": "59bbd360-c312-11e9-8af7-cf1cf42fc72e",
"feedName": "dfgdfgdfgdfgsdfg",
"format": "XmlTV",
"sources": [
{
"sourceId": 69042417,
"name": "TV 2 Livsstil"
},
{
"sourceId": 69042419,
"name": "Turk Max"
}
]
}
]
}
Note the use of JSON_QUERY( #MyNewJson ) in the UPDATE. This is important.
From Microsoft's Docs:
JSON_QUERY without its optional second parameter returns only the
first argument as a result. Since JSON_QUERY always returns valid
JSON, FOR JSON knows that this result does not have to be escaped.
If you were to pass #MyNewJson without the JSON_QUERY your new json would be escaped ( e.g., "customerName" becomes \"customerName\" ) as if it were being stored as plain text. JSON_QUERY will return unescaped, valid JSON which is necessary in your case.
Also note that the only change I made to replace the entire feed vs. a single item value was switching
'$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + '].format'
to
'$.feeds[' + Config_CTE.[key] + ']'.
