I've not digested exactly what is happening, but Scott Forstie has a repository on github for SQL snippets.

https://gist.github.com/forstie

He has one that talks about json shredding
https://gist.github.com/forstie/b45fd2cd06e5103aee6fe52d63f9f628
"JSON_TABLE and survival tips for shredding JSON with SQL"

maybe it helps

I played around with it Booth - once I had the format of the json - but could not get it to work. There are some real oddball things in SQL Json processing that I can't get my head around.

I don't believe it is the httpgetclob that gives you a problem because if you just feed the json into json_table like I did below I could still not get int to work. Is it possible that the form of this particular array data is one of the edge cases that SQL cannot handle? I don't know.
