Using PostgreSQL I can have multiple rows of json objects.
select (select ROW_TO_JSON(_) from (select c.name, c.age) as _) as jsonresult from employee as c
This gives me this result:
{"age":65,"name":"NAME"}
{"age":21,"name":"SURNAME"}
But in SqlServer when I use the FOR JSON AUTO clause it gives me an array of json objects instead of multiple rows.
select c.name, c.age from customer c FOR JSON AUTO
[{"age":65,"name":"NAME"},{"age":21,"name":"SURNAME"}]
How to get the same result format in SqlServer ?
By constructing separate JSON in each individual row:
SELECT (SELECT [age], [name] FOR JSON PATH, WITHOUT_ARRAY_WRAPPER)
FROM customer
There is an alternative form that doesn't require you to know the table structure (but likely has worse performance because it may generate a large intermediate JSON):
SELECT [value] FROM OPENJSON(
(SELECT * FROM customer FOR JSON PATH)
)
