RE: json_table - get entire array

It would have been helpful to see the JASON
... have you tried this:

select *
from *json_table*(*trim*(jvaughn.tempjson1)
, '$.Orders[*]'
Columns (Column1 ... Path ...,
Column2 ... Path ...,
Nested $.Positions[*]
Columns(....)
)
) as t
where "dtNr" = '78714';

Subject: json_table - get entire array

I'm curious about a concept with json_table...

Given the below statement (which is invalid due to the "columns('$')")...
Is there any possible way to have the statement select the entire orders
array, sub array/objects, etc, without having to define that entire
array/subarray/objects DS for that orders array?

select *
from *json_table*(*trim*(jvaughn.tempjson1)
,'$' columns(NESTED '$.orders[*]'
columns('$')
)
) as t
where "dtNr" = '78714';
