Create table from openjson(#json) results Azure SQL - sql

Question

I am trying to make a table out of the [key] row values from a
select * from openjson(#json) statement. The openjson(#json) statement gives me results that contains 53 [key] row values, here's a small snippet:
[key] [value] [type]
_id 5b05390c5d222f0059209918 1
ean 65485555 1
name NULL 0
holder {"_id":"5b0538355d222f00585db6f1","name":"***... 5
root {"_id":"5b05390c5d222f005920990a","holder":{"_id":"5b0538885... 5
assigner {"_id":"5b0538885d222f00570aca19","name":"***... 5
created 2018-05-23T09:49:00+0000 1
children [] 4
address 1
timezone Etc/GMT-1 1
I want a table that look something like this:
table1
[_id] [ean] [name] [holder] [etc...]
5b05390c5d222f0059209918 65485555 NULL {"_id":"5b0538355d222...}
I also want to be able to insert values from another JSON into the same table
insert into table1 ()
select [value] from openjson(#json2)
Thank you!

Just add a WITH clause to your OPENJSON query.
See OPENJSON, eg:
DECLARE #json NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'[
{
"Order": {
"Number":"SO43659",
"Date":"2011-05-31T00:00:00"
},
"AccountNumber":"AW29825",
"Item": {
"Price":2024.9940,
"Quantity":1
}
},
{
"Order": {
"Number":"SO43661",
"Date":"2011-06-01T00:00:00"
},
"AccountNumber":"AW73565",
"Item": {
"Price":2024.9940,
"Quantity":3
}
}
]'
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON ( #json )
WITH (
Number varchar(200) '$.Order.Number',
Date datetime '$.Order.Date',
Customer varchar(200) '$.AccountNumber',
Quantity int '$.Item.Quantity',
[Order] nvarchar(MAX) AS JSON
)
