I need to parse JSON using TSQL.
I find a function to create a temporary table contains all values of the json and the mode to find every elements of it.
Not there are an issue. I have a JSON with an array of int value, negative and positive value. But the function convert all number in positive number. So I need to fixed them. This is my json:
declare @json as nvarchar(max)
set @json = N'[
