I am trying to convert JSON into an SQL table. The source is the response from a REST API. I do not have the opportunity to change the response.
The response contains data on several projects. Projects are returned as individual members of a global projects object.
As the projectid is not at the same level with the other data and also does not have a name
SELECT * FROM OPENJSON (@JSON);
fails to parse it properly. I end up with one row for projects and the json object as the value. Also without the proper way to refer to the elements I could not figure out a way to use JSON_VALUE.
Below is a sample structure. Actual data has much more properties and variations between the projects. I prefer to solve this in SQL. But any way to sort out the JSON will be appreciated. This is my first exposure to JSON. I want to ask if I am missing something very obvious...
TIA
{
"projects": {
"project1id": {
"data": {
"customer": "Cust1",
"name": "Project Name 1"
},
"projectType": "type0"
},
"project2id": {
"data": {
"customer": "Customer 2",
"name": "Name 2",
"projectManager": "Man Ager"
},
"projectType": "type2"
},
"Project3id": {
"data": {
"customer": "Another Customer",
"name": "Another Project"
},
"projectType": "type1"
}
}
}
Expected Result
| ProjectId | Project Name | Customer | Project Type | Project Manager |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| project1id | Project Name 1 | Cust 1 | type0 | |
| project2id | Customer 2 | type2 | Man Ager | |
| project3id | Another Project | Another Customer | type1 |

OPENJSON (@JSON)isn't going to return much more than a few rows containing more JSON, as your JSON is nested.projectTypeis inside the$.datapart of the 3rd JSON object - is it a typing error?
