Read JSON Data in SQL SERVER | Part 15 #database

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, SQL Server doesn't have a built-in capability to directly read JSON data and store it in relational tables like it does with XML data using the XML data type. However, SQL Server has made improvements in its JSON handling capabilities in recent versions.

If you want to store JSON data in SQL Server, you have a few options:

JSON Data Type (Starting from SQL Server 2016):
SQL Server 2016 introduced a JSON data type that allows you to store JSON documents in a column. You can use this data type to store JSON data and then perform some limited querying using functions like JSON_VALUE, JSON_QUERY, and ISJSON. You can insert JSON data into a table by using the INSERT statement just like you would with any other data type.
