I have a simple query in my database:
SELECT id, name FROM users FOR JSON AUTO, ROOT('users')
This returns the following JSON:
{
"users": [
{"id": "1", "name": "John"}
{"id": "2", "name": "Mike"}
]
}
I want to have the return with the following format:
{
"users": {
"list": [
{"id": "1", "name": "John"}
{"id": "2", "name": "Mike"}
]
}
}
Can I do this on SQL level by simply changing the query?
You may try with this:
Table:
CREATE TABLE users (
id varchar(1),
[name] varchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO users
(id, [name])
VALUES
('1', 'John'),
('2', 'Mike')
Statement:
SELECT users = (SELECT id, name FROM users FOR JSON AUTO, ROOT('list'))
FOR JSON PATH, WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER
Result:
{"users":{"list":[{"id":"1","name":"John"},{"id":"2","name":"Mike"}]}}
