Json + SP_execute

  • Hi
    I have an issue in troubleshooting below is sample code 

    DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Foo",
    "price": 123,
    "tags": [
      "Bar",
      "Eek"
    ],
    "stock": {
      "warehouse": 300,
      "retail": 20
    }
    }'

    SELECT *
    FROM OPENJSON(@json)
    WITH(
    idn int '$.id',
    name NVARCHAR(50) '$.name',
    price float '$.price',
    warehouse NVARCHAR(50) '$.stock.warehouse',
    retail NVARCHAR(50) '$.stock.retail',
    tags varchar(100) '$.tags[0]',
    tags varchar(100) '$.tags[1]')

    how do we pass param to tags in the above SQL query is it is possible , say here in the above query we have 2 tags how to tag of @input value
    say if @input is specified as 0 its should return first value and so on.. 
    like wise SP_execute or exec (@SQL) is not working 

    Req:1 


    Declare @sql varchar(4000)
    Select @sql ='SELECT * FROM OPENJSON('+@json+')'
    print @sql
    exec (@SQL )

    Output: 

    SELECT * FROM OPENJSON({
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Foo",
    "price": 123,
    "tags": [
      "Bar",
      "Eek"
    ],
    "stock": {
      "warehouse": 300,
      "retail": 20
    }
    })
    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
    Incorrect syntax near 'id'.

    Req:2 


    declare @iput int =1

    ---JSON path is not properly formatted. Unexpected character '@' is found at position 7.
    -- I knew that syntax is wrong this is just to show 
    SELECT *FROM OPENJSON(@json)
    with (tags varchar(100) '$.tags[@iput]')

    -- incorrect syntax 
    SELECT *FROM OPENJSON(@json)
    with (tags varchar(100) '$.tags['@iput']')

  • Hi,

    If you have different variation of parameters you can do something like

    if(@style = 1)
    begin

    SELECT *
    FROM OPENJSON(@json)
    WITH(
    idn int '$.id',
    name NVARCHAR(50) '$.name',
    price float '$.price',
    warehouse NVARCHAR(50) '$.stock.warehouse',
    retail NVARCHAR(50) '$.stock.retail',
    tags varchar(100) '$.tags[0]',
    tags varchar(100) '$.tags[1]')

    end;

    if(@style = 2)
    begin
    SELECT *
    FROM OPENJSON(@json)
    WITH(
    idn int '$.id',
    name NVARCHAR(50) '$.name',
    warehouse NVARCHAR(50) '$.stock.warehouse',
    tags varchar(100) '$.tags[0]')
    ...
    etc

  • Another option is use a dynamic SQL.

    Another option is use a dynamic SQL.

    Thanks for your reply We dont know how many tags are there and it is up to user to decide  so we cant not opt the above first solution.
    I have tried dynamic option but it did not work me

  • T-SQL is as good as proper programming language like Java and C++. Using the dynamic SQL you can realise almost any idea. I don't see any particular reasons why that didn't work for you.
