Gustavo de Morais updated FLINK-37374: -------------------------------------- Description: It is currently not possible to declare a SQL string that contains existing JSON as valid JSON for JSON_OBJECT. Something like {code:java} JSON_OBJECT(KEY 'K' VALUE '\{"value": 42}') returns {"{"value": 42}"} {code} Where the value is a string a not a json object. We should support the JSON() function, at least initial support for it until this function returns the JSON datatype. We already implemented it for JSON_OBJECT and this would support it for JSON_ARRAY. Example: {code:java} jsonArray(json('{"value": 42}')) JSON_ARRAY(JSON('{"value": 42}')) // [{"value":42}]{code} was: It is currently not possible to declare a SQL string that contains existing JSON as valid JSON for JSON_OBJECT. Something like {code:java} JSON_OBJECT(KEY 'K' VALUE '\{"value": 42}') returns \{"K", "{"value": 42}"} {code} Where the value is a string a not a json object. We should support the JSON() function, at least initial support for it until this function returns the JSON datatype. Example: {code:java} jsonObject(JsonOnNull.NULL, "nested", json('{"value": 42}')) JSON_OBJECT(KEY 'K' VALUE JSON('{"value": 42}')) // {"nested":{"value":42}}{code} > Support JSON built-in function for JSON_ARRAY > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-37374 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37374 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Table SQL / API > Reporter: Gustavo de Morais > Assignee: Gustavo de Morais > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 2.1.0 > > > It is currently not possible to declare a SQL string that contains existing > JSON as valid JSON for JSON_OBJECT.
