JSON_MODIFY function can be used to update value on some path. You can use this function to modify original value of JSON cell in UPDATE statement: update Product set Data = JSON_MODIFY(Data, '$.Price', 24.99) where ProductID = 17; JSON_MODIFY function will update or create Price key (if it do...

JSON_MODIFY function can be used to append new value to some array inside JSON: update Product set Data = JSON_MODIFY(Data, 'append $.tags', "sales") where ProductID = 17; New value will be appended at the end of the array, or a new array with value ["sales"] will be create...

If you have a "child table" formatted as JSON collection and stored in-row as JSON column, you can unpack this collection, transform it to table and join it with parent row. Instead of the standard JOIN operator, you should use CROSS APPLY. In this example, product parts are formatted as ...

In this example, Tags array may contain various keywords like ["promo", "sales"], so we can open this array and filter values: select ProductID, Name, Color, Size, Price, Quantity from Product CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(Data, '$.Tags') where value = 'sales' OPENJSON will op...

JSON is textual format, so it is stored in standard NVARCHAR columns. NoSQL collection is equivalent to two column key value table: CREATE TABLE ProductCollection ( Id int identity primary key, Data nvarchar(max) ) Use nvarchar(max) as you are not sure what would be the size of your JSON ...

Since JSON is stored textual column, you might want to ensure that it is properly formatted. You can add CHECK constraint on JSON column that checks is text properly formatted JSON: CREATE TABLE ProductCollection ( Id int identity primary key, Data nvarchar(max) CONSTRAINT [Data shoul...

You can expose values from JSON column as computed columns: CREATE TABLE ProductCollection ( Id int identity primary key, Data nvarchar(max), Price AS JSON_VALUE(Data, '$.Price'), Color JSON_VALUE(Data, '$.Color') PERSISTED ) If you add PERSISTED computed column, value from JSON tex...

Queries that filter or sort data by some value in JSON column usually use full table scan. SELECT * FROM ProductCollection WHERE JSON_VALUE(Data, '$.Color') = 'Black' To optimize these kind of queries, you can add non-persisted computed column that exposes JSON expression used in filter or sort...

If you can use memory-optimized tables, you can store JSON as text: CREATE TABLE ProductCollection ( Id int identity primary key nonclustered, Data nvarchar(max) ) WITH (MEMORY_OPTIMIZED=ON) Advantages of JSON in in-memory: JSON data is always in memory so there is no disk access Ther...

PL/SQL uses IN, OUT, IN OUT keywords to define what can happen to a passed parameter. IN specifies that the parameter is read only and the value cannot be changed by the procedure. OUT specifies the parameter is write only and a procedure can assign a value to it, but not reference the value. IN ...

OPENJSON function parse JSON text and returns all key:value pairs at the first level of JSON: declare @json NVARCHAR(4000) = N'{"Name":"Joe","age":27,"skills":["C#","SQL"]}'; SELECT * FROM OPENJSON(@json); keyvaluetypeNameJoe1age272ski...

OPENJSON function parses collection of JSON objects and returns values from JSON text as set of rows. declare @json nvarchar(4000) = N'[ {"Number":"SO43659","Date":"2011-05-31T00:00:00","Customer": "MSFT","Price":59.99,"Q...

OPENJSON function parses collection of JSON objects and returns values from JSON text as set of rows. If the values in input object are nested, additional mapping parameter can be specified in each column in WITH clause: declare @json nvarchar(4000) = N'[ {"data":{"num":&quot...

OPENJSON can extract fragments of JSON objects inside the JSON text. In the column definition that references JSON sub-object set the type nvarchar(max) and AS JSON option: declare @json nvarchar(4000) = N'[ {"Number":"SO43659","Date":"2011-05-31T00:00:00"...

JSON may have complex structure with inner arrays. In this example, we have array of orders with nested sub array of OrderItems. declare @json nvarchar(4000) = N'[ {"Number":"SO43659","Date":"2011-05-31T00:00:00", "Items":[{"Price"...

Same as that of RANK(). It returns rank without any gaps: Select Studentid, Name,Subject,Marks, DENSE_RANK() over(partition by name order by Marks desc)Rank From Exam order by name Studentid Name Subject Marks Rank 101 Ivan Science 80 1 101 Ivan ...

In SQL Server, there are two categories of triggers: DDL Triggers and DML Triggers. DDL Triggers are fired in response to Data Definition Language (DDL) events. These events primarily correspond to Transact-SQL statements that start with the keywords CREATE, ALTER and DROP. DML Triggers are fired ...

Setting up a template for one application Create a file named template.xhtml under the /WEB-INF folder, that way the template files will be accessible only for the framework. /WEB-INF/template.xhtml <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&...

SQL Server 2012 It converts string data type to target data type(Date or Numeric). For example, source data is string type and we need to covert to date type. If conversion attempt fails it returns NULL value. Syntax: TRY_PARSE (string_value AS data_type [ USING culture ]) String_value – This is...

SQL Server 2012 It converts value to specified data type and if conversion fails it returns NULL. For example, source value in string format and we need date/integer format. Then this will help us to achieve the same. Syntax: TRY_CONVERT ( data_type [ ( length ) ], expression [, style ] ) TRY_CON...
