How to replace a string to an int in JSON value in database column?












0















I use a default response for a user in my proyect according to the following table.



Table: USERS
|ID | NAME | DEFAULTRESPONSE



The default response contains a string in JSON format. I need to change the month and the day from all relatives_birthdays from string to int.



Here is an example of the previous json:



[
{
"id":1,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month":"8",
"day": "1",
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month":"3",
"day": "27",
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month":"4",
"day": "12",
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
},
{
"id":2,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month":"12",
"day": "11",
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month":"1",
"day": "2",
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month":"7",
"day": "18",
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
}
]


And here is the json I need:



[
{
"id":1,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month": 8,
"day": 1,
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month": 3,
"day": 27,
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month": 4,
"day": 12,
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
},
{
"id":2,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month": 12,
"day": 11,
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month": 1,
"day": 2,
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month": 7,
"day": 18,
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
}
]


Any ideas on the script I need to execute in order to accomplish this?

You can parse the json with openjson and then rebuild it. This will works, but it is probably very inefficient:



declare @j nvarchar(max) = '[
{
"id":1,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month":"8",
"day": "1",
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month":"3",
"day": "27",
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month":"4",
"day": "12",
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
},
{
"id":2,
"relatives_birthdays":[
{
"month":"12",
"day": "11",
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month":"1",
"day": "2",
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month":"7",
"day": "18",
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
}
]'

select rt.[id]
, relatives_birthdays.[month]
, relatives_birthdays.[day]
, relatives_birthdays.[description]
from (
select p.id
from openjson(@j) with (id int) p
) as rt
inner join (
select p.id
, c.month
, c.day
, c.description
from openjson(@j) with (
id int
, relatives_birthdays nvarchar(max) as json
) p
cross apply openjson(relatives_birthdays) with (
month int
, day int
, description nvarchar(max)
) c
) as relatives_birthdays
on rt.id = relatives_birthdays.id
for json auto


This is the resulting json:



[
{
"id": 1,
"relatives_birthdays": [
{
"month": 8,
"day": 1,
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month": 3,
"day": 27,
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month": 4,
"day": 12,
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"relatives_birthdays": [
{
"month": 12,
"day": 11,
"description": "Birthday mother"
},
{
"month": 1,
"day": 2,
"description": "Birthday brother"
},
{
"month": 7,
"day": 18,
"description": "Birthday father"
}
]
}
]

        You can parse the json with openjson and then rebuild it. This will works, but it is probably very inefficient:



        declare @j nvarchar(max) = '[
        {
        "id":1,
        "relatives_birthdays":[
        {
        "month":"8",
        "day": "1",
        "description": "Birthday mother"
        },
        {
        "month":"3",
        "day": "27",
        "description": "Birthday brother"
        },
        {
        "month":"4",
        "day": "12",
        "description": "Birthday father"
        }
        ]
        },
        {
        "id":2,
        "relatives_birthdays":[
        {
        "month":"12",
        "day": "11",
        "description": "Birthday mother"
        },
        {
        "month":"1",
        "day": "2",
        "description": "Birthday brother"
        },
        {
        "month":"7",
        "day": "18",
        "description": "Birthday father"
        }
        ]
        }
        ]'

        select rt.[id]
        , relatives_birthdays.[month]
        , relatives_birthdays.[day]
        , relatives_birthdays.[description]
        from (
        select p.id
        from openjson(@j) with (id int) p
        ) as rt
        inner join (
        select p.id
        , c.month
        , c.day
        , c.description
        from openjson(@j) with (
        id int
        , relatives_birthdays nvarchar(max) as json
        ) p
        cross apply openjson(relatives_birthdays) with (
        month int
        , day int
        , description nvarchar(max)
        ) c
        ) as relatives_birthdays
        on rt.id = relatives_birthdays.id
        for json auto


        This is the resulting json:



        [
        {
        "id": 1,
        "relatives_birthdays": [
        {
        "month": 8,
        "day": 1,
        "description": "Birthday mother"
        },
        {
        "month": 3,
        "day": 27,
        "description": "Birthday brother"
        },
        {
        "month": 4,
        "day": 12,
        "description": "Birthday father"
        }
        ]
        },
        {
        "id": 2,
        "relatives_birthdays": [
        {
        "month": 12,
        "day": 11,
        "description": "Birthday mother"
        },
        {
        "month": 1,
        "day": 2,
        "description": "Birthday brother"
        },
        {
        "month": 7,
        "day": 18,
        "description": "Birthday father"
        }
        ]
        }
        ]
