Hi Vicki,

this is a well-known problem and AFAIK there is even an RFE.
As long as we do not have another solution, just put your Array into an
object, and you can parse it with JSON_TABLE, i.e.

Select *
From JSON_TABLE('{"root": ' concat YourJSONArray concat '}', ...

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Subject: JSON_VALUE/JSON_TABLE Path Expression question

I am trying to use JSON_VALUE and/or JSON_TABLE for some JSON that doesn't
seem to have a typical set-up.

I've been able to use both JSON_VALUE and JSON_TABLE for other pieces of
JSON. My non-typical JSON looks like:

["sometextherebutnocolonforanarry",{"arrayKey1":"Key1value","arraykey2":"key
2value"}]

I don't actually care what's in the first text area. I'm interested in the
values for the key pairs. But I have not been able t

Specifying the arrayKey1 in JSON_VALUE is not working - which makes sense
because I don't know how to account for the first fragment.

Vic
