Oracle reading JSON data using json_query - json

Question

While working on oracle json datatype and trying to extract data from it, not able to extract name & value elements from this. tried using all known notations but getting null.
select json_query(po_document, '$.actions.parameters[0]') from j_purchaseorder where ID='2';

Answer 1

You can use the JSON_VALUE function as follows:
SQL> select JSON_VALUE('{"_class":"123", "name":"tejash","value":"so"}', '$.name') as name,
2 JSON_VALUE('{"_class":"123", "name":"tejash","value":"so"}', '$.value') as value
3 from dual;
NAME VALUE
---------- ----------
tejash so
SQL>

Answer 2

Thanks for your help. got required output using below
select json_value(json_query(po_document, '$.actions.parameters[0]'),'$.value') from j_purchaseorder where ID='2' and
json_value(json_query(po_document, '$.actions.parameters[0]'),'$.name') = 'SERVERUSER';

Answer 3

As explained, for example, in the Oracle documentation, multiple calls to JSON_VALUE() on the same JSON document may result in very poor performance. When we need to extract multiple values from a single document, it is often best (for performance) to make a single call to JSON_TABLE().
Here is how that would work on the provided document. First I create and populate the table, then I show the query and the output. Note the handling of column (attribute) "_class", both in the JSON document and in the SQL SELECT statement. In both cases the name must be enclosed in double-quotes, because it begins with an underscore.
create table j_purchaseorder (
id number primary key,
po_document clob check (po_document is json)
);
insert into j_purchaseorder (id, po_document) values (
2, '{"_class":"hudson.model.StringParameterValue","name":"SERVERUSER","value":"avlipwcnp04"}'
);
commit;
select "_CLASS", name, value
from j_purchaseorder
cross apply
json_table(po_document, '$'
columns (
"_CLASS" varchar2(40) path '$."_class"',
name varchar2(20) path '$.name',
value varchar2(20) path '$.value'
)
)
where id = 2
;
_CLASS NAME VALUE
