I have a variant table called raw_json
, that houses multiple json files, which are unique to the ID but contain similar data points within each json. They live within the jsontext column. Here is a SS for context. I am trying to flatten each row of the raw_json
table into a normal table view. The two arrays indexes need to align to assign the right values.
Here are two rows from the raw_json
table and how the json is structured.
{
"ID": "PO-103",
"content": {
"EEList": [
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-1",
"EEProductID": "XXX1976",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-2",
"EEProductID": "XXX1977",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-3",
"EEProductID": "XXX1978",
}
],
"EENotesList": [
{
"FirstName": "John",
"LastName": "Smith",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Bob",
"LastName": "Joe",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Mike",
"LastName": "Smith",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
}
],
}
}
{
"ID": "PO-104",
"content": {
"EEList": [
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-1",
"EEProductID": "XXX1979",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-2",
"EEProductID": "XXX1980",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-3",
"EEProductID": "XXX1981",
}
],
"EENotesList": [
{
"FirstName": "Sarah",
"LastName": "Butler",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Jessica",
"LastName": "Adams",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
}
],
}
}
into a table like this (I need this)
+--------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
| ID | EEListID | EEProductID | FirstName | LastName | pxObjClass |
+--------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
| PO-103 | PO-103-1 | XXX1976 | John | Smith | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-103 | PO-103-2 | XXX1977 | Bob | Joe | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-103 | PO-103-3 | XXX1978 | Mike | Smith | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-104 | PO-104-1 | XXX1979 | Sarah | Butler | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-104 | PO-104-2 | XXX1980 | Jessica | Adams | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
+--------+----------+-------------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
I have been able to flatten the EENoteList array into a table and assign the right ID to that table. Here is my code so far: Adding in EEList values without fanning out the table is where I go wrong.
select
jsontext:ID::varchar as ID,
en.value:FirstName::varchar as FirstName,
en.value:LastName::varchar as LastName,
en.value:pxObjClass::varchar as pxObjClass
-- concat(ID, EEProductID, FirstName, LastName)
from raw_json,
lateral flatten (input => jsontext:content:EENotesList, outer => false) en;
which produces this table (I have this)
+--------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
| ID | FirstName | LastName | pxObjClass |
+--------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
| PO-103 | John | Smith | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-103 | Bob | Joe | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-103 | Mike | Smith | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-104 | Sarah | Butler | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-104 | Jessica | Adams | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
| PO-104 | Terrence | Williams | X-XXSales-Work-XX |
+--------+-----------+----------+-------------------+
so mostly this answer is the preamble to get the data into a CTE, but "iff" the order of the two arrays are in lockstep, you can just use the index of the flatten to access the raw array of the other type:
WITH raw_json AS (
select PARSE_json(column1) AS jsontext FROM VALUES
('{
"ID": "PO-103",
"content": {
"EEList": [
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-1",
"EEProductID": "XXX1976",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-2",
"EEProductID": "XXX1977",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-103-3",
"EEProductID": "XXX1978",
}
],
"EENotesList": [
{
"FirstName": "John",
"LastName": "Smith",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Bob",
"LastName": "Joe",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Mike",
"LastName": "Smith",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
}
],
}
}'), ('{
"ID": "PO-104",
"content": {
"EEList": [
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-1",
"EEProductID": "XXX1979",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-2",
"EEProductID": "XXX1980",
},
{
"EEListID": "PO-104-3",
"EEProductID": "XXX1981",
}
],
"EENotesList": [
{
"FirstName": "Sarah",
"LastName": "Butler",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
},
{
"FirstName": "Jessica",
"LastName": "Adams",
"pxObjClass": "XX-XXSales-Work-XX"
}
],
}
}')
)
select
jsontext:ID::varchar as ID,
en.value:FirstName::varchar as FirstName,
en.value:LastName::varchar as LastName,
en.value:pxObjClass::varchar as pxObjClass,
jsontext:content.EEList[en.index].EEListID::text as EEListID,
jsontext:content.EEList[en.index].EEProductID::text as EEProductID
from raw_json,
lateral flatten (input => jsontext:content:EENotesList, outer => false) en;
this results in:
ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PXOBJCLASS EELISTID EEPRODUCTID
PO-103 John Smith XX-XXSales-Work-XX PO-103-1 XXX1976
PO-103 Bob Joe XX-XXSales-Work-XX PO-103-2 XXX1977
PO-103 Mike Smith XX-XXSales-Work-XX PO-103-3 XXX1978
PO-104 Sarah Butler XX-XXSales-Work-XX PO-104-1 XXX1979
PO-104 Jessica Adams XX-XXSales-Work-XX PO-104-2 XXX1980
