daveh42 / JSON_TABLE and survival tips for shredding JSON with SQL
Created March 4, 2022 15:56 — forked from forstie/JSON_TABLE and survival tips for shredding JSON with SQL
This example shows how to overcome what seems to be commonplace: JSON Web Services that return an invalid JSON document.
-- This fails to return data....why?

FROM JSON_TABLE(
SYSTOOLS.HTTPGETCLOB('https://www.treasurydirect.gov/TA_WS/securities/announced?format=json&type=FRN&pagesize=5', null),

Created March 4, 2022 15:56 — forked from forstie/dynamic VALUES INTO
This example shows how to use dynamic SQL (PREPARE and EXECUTE) to implement a VALUES INTO statement.
create procedure qgpl.values_into (out pout integer)
begin
declare values_into_stmt varchar(1000) ccsid 37;
set values_into_stmt = 'values 1+2+3 into ?';
prepare values_into_query from values_into_stmt;
execute values_into_query using pout;
end;
call qgpl.values_into(?);
-- Note that 6 is returned...

daveh42 / 3-part naming for UDTFs
Created March 4, 2022 15:54 — forked from forstie/3-part naming for UDTFs
For User Defined Table Functions (UDTFs), a trick needs to be employed. Include a where clause whose only purpose is to push the UDTF invocation to the remote database!
--
-- Traditional 3-part name SQL would reference a table, view, or procedure

call otherRDB.schema.procedure123();

insert into localschema.fact_table

Created March 4, 2022 15:54 — forked from forstie/Temporalize a library.sql
System period temporal tables were added as a feature built into Db2 for i with IBM i 7.3. This example shows how Temporal could be established for all database files within a specific library.

daveh42 / Use ACS on your IBM i to build spreadsheets.sql
Created March 4, 2022 15:54 — forked from forstie/Use ACS on your IBM i to build spreadsheets.sql
This example simplifies a previous gist. ACS is now being shipped on your IBM i via PTFs. Subsequent PTFs will ship when major enhancements are made to ACS.
--
-- Now that ACS is shipped on the IBM i via PTFs, we no longer need to manually move the
-- acsbundle.jar onto the IBM i. Just apply the latest ACS PTFs and reference the jar
-- at: /QIBM/proddata/Access/ACS/Base/acsbundle.jar

-- Initial PTFs of ACS
