Re: json_table(httpgetclob, nested array

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

raw:

{"wData_length":14,"SeasOceans":["Adriatic Sea","Arctic Ocean","Atlantic Ocean","Bay of Bengal","Caribbean Sea", ...]

formatted:

wData_length 	14
SeasOceans 	
0 	"Adriatic Sea"
1 	"Arctic Ocean"
2 	"Atlantic Ocean"
3 	"Bay of Bengal"
4 	"Caribbean Sea"


The array is 100 elements, of which only 14 have data.
