I am facing an issue with JSON extract using JSON_EXTRACT_PATH_TEXT in redshift
I have two separate JSON columns One containing the modems the customer is using and the other one containing the recharge details
{"Mnfcr": "Technicolor","Model_Name":"Technicolor ABC1243","Smart_Modem":"Y"} For the above, I have no issue extracting the Model_name using JSON_EXTRACT_PATH_TEXT(COLUMN_NAME, 'Model_Name') as model_name
[{"Date":"2021-12-24 21:42:01","Amt":50.00}] This one is causing me trouble. I used the same method above and it did not work. it gave me the below error ERROR: JSON parsing error Detail: ----------------------------------------------- error: JSON parsing error code: 8001 context: invalid json object [{"Date":"2021-07-03 17:12:16","Amt":50.00
Can I please get assistance on how to extract this using the json_extract_path_text? One other method I have found and it worked was to use regexp_substring.
This second string is a json array (square braces), not an object (curly brackets). The array contains a single element which is an object. So you need to extract the object from the array before using JSON_EXTRACT_PATH_TEXT().
The junction for this is JSON_EXTRACT_ARRAY_ELEMENT_TEXT().
Putting this all together we get:
JSON_EXTRACT_PATH_TEXT(
JSON_EXTRACT_ARRAY_ELEMENT_TEXT( <column>, 0)
, 'Amt')
