RE: New Article about SQL JSON Publishing Functions

PHP can easily convert an SQL result set to JSON.

Not everybody can use PHP!
BTW a friend of me, who is very familiar with web applications, JavaScript, PHP but also RPG and SQL, uses only the RPG/SQL composition, because PHP is much slower.

it this really needed? PHP can easily convert an SQL result set to JSON.

Would be terrific to apply JSON data to an SQL table.

UPDATE CUSTOMER a
SET * = json JSON_variable
where a.csno = inCsno ;

JSON_variable contains an object in json form. Columns and values:
{CSCL:'AB', CSSC:'01'}
SQL would translate the statement to:

UPDATE CUSTOMER a
set ( CSCL, CSSC ) = ('AB', '01')
where a.csno = inCsno ;

or insert the contents of a JSON array into an SQL table.

insert json_array json_variable
into customer ;

The same concept. The JSON array already contains the column names and
values. SQL could match the column names and apply the values.

JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is used for
asynchronous browser–server communication in web applications and web
services. JSON is a human readable text format, based on the
JavaScript notation. Compared with XML is JSON more compact, less
verbose and easier to generate. In this way JSON supersedes more and
more XML for data exchange. Since Release 7.3 TR 3 SQL includes all
kinds of functions for generating JSON Data. Using these functions
even complex JSON data can be generated with a single SQL SELECT
Statement.
