Example: INSERT Statement
The example creates a table with a JSON column, allocates and initializes a JSON instance using the JSON constructor, then inserts the JSON and integer values into the table.
CREATE TABLE my_table (eno INTEGER, edata JSON(100));
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(1,
NEW JSON('{"name" : "Cameron", "age" : 24}'));
The example inserts a JSON string into a table that contains a JSON column.
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(2,
'{"name" : "Cameron", "age" : 24}');
If the string is not formatted correctly, an error is reported.
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(3,
'{"name" : "Cameron"');
*** Failure 7548: Syntax error in JSON string: expected a '}'.
Example: INSERT SELECT Statement
The example creates two tables, then inserts JSON data into the second table from the first table.
CREATE TABLE my_table (eno INTEGER, edata JSON(100)); CREATE TABLE my_table2 (eno INTEGER, edata JSON(20));
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(1,
NEW JSON('{"name" : "Cam"}'));
INSERT INTO my_Table2
SELECT * FROM my_table;
If the JSON data is too large to fit in the column an error is reported.
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES(1,
NEW JSON('{"name" : "Cameron", "age" : 24}'));
INSERT INTO my_Table2
SELECT * FROM my_table;
*** Failure 7548: Data too large for this JSON instance.
