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.
