Endi Zhupani is a university graduate from Tirana with a degree in Information Systems. He currently works for Pragmatic Software, a company in Tirana that develops transaction and operation management systems as web applications. Throughout his entire development experience, Q&A and blog posts from other developers have saved my day more times that he can count, so he thought he’d start giving back by writing about my work and solutions he has come up with for some interesting problems.

Question of the Day

Fun with JSON I

I have some data in a table:

CREATE TABLE #test_data
(
    id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100),
    birth_date DATE
);

-- Step 2: Insert rows  
INSERT INTO #test_data
VALUES
(1, 'Olivia', '2025-01-05'),
(2, 'Emma', '2025-03-02'),
(3, 'Liam', '2025-11-15'),
(4, 'Noah', '2025-12-22');
If I run this query, how many rows are returned?
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(
     (
         SELECT t.* FROM #test_data AS t FOR JSON PATH
     )
             ) t;
