[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2159: --------------------------------------- After starting the implementation I'm leaning toward just using a subtype of Clob (similar to the XMLType.Type subtypes) to represent JSON rather than introducing a full new type. This allows us to sidestep whether json needs to be a keyword and a host of logic that needs added related to types. An example usage: {code}select jsonArray(1, null, true, {d '2007-01-01'}, jsonParse('{"name":123}', true), unescape('\t\n?')){code} returns {code}[1,null,true,"2007-01-01",{"name":123},"\t\n?"]{code} note the conversion of date to string JsonParse/JsonArray will be added as normal functions. While JsonObject and JsonArrayAgg (which can be deprecated when we generally allow array type usage) will need parsing/language object support. The initial work should be in for beta2. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
