This example shows how to use the READ_NOS table operator to access an external JSON file that includes the extension .JSON.

File Name Query

This query uses the function mapping READ_NOS_json_fm for the READ_NOS table operator to query the file at the specified location with a return type of NOSREAD_KEYS. The LOCATION parameter specifies a JSON file stored on Amazon S3.

Create the function mapping READ_NOS_json_fm, if not already created. See Example: Function Mapping Definition Using EXTERNAL SECURITY Clause for JSON Data Files.

Perform the READ_NOS:

SELECT location
  FROM READ_NOS_json_fm (
  USING
   LOCATION('/S3/td-usgs.s3.amazonaws.com/JSONDATA/09380000/2018/06/27')
   RETURNTYPE('NOSREAD_KEYS')
) AS derived_table;

The output result shows that the file includes the extension, .JSON.

 Location                                                       
 -------------------------------------------------------------- 
 /S3/td-usgs.s3.amazonaws.com/JSONDATA/09380000/2018/06/27.json

Sample Query and Results

This query uses the READ_NOS_json_fm function mapping to return specific columns searching for entries where the temperature was greater than 11 and the height was more than 10.00, ordered by date and time.

Create the function mapping READ_NOS_json_fm, if not already created. See Example: Function Mapping Definition Using EXTERNAL SECURITY Clause for JSON Data Files.

Perform the READ_NOS:

SELECT payload.Flow, payload.Precipitation, payload.Conductance, payload.datetime, payload.site_no, payload.Temp, payload.GageHeight
  FROM READ_NOS_json_fm (
  USING
    LOCATION('/S3/td-usgs.s3.amazonaws.com/JSONDATA/09380000/2018/06/27')
    RETURNTYPE('NOSREAD_RECORD')
) AS derived_table  
  WHERE payload.Temp>11.0 AND payload.GageHeight>10.00 
  ORDER BY payload.datetime;

Below is a sample of the output.

 Payload.Flow Payload.Precipitation Payload.Conductance Payload.datetime Payload.site_no Payload.Temp Payload.GageHeight
