Re: json_table(httpgetclob, nested array

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They are useful - but not win this case as Booth's json was valid - and because Scott's examples don't show what the json looks like you can't learn from it in terms of formulatting the SQL to process it.

I think I'll write to Scott and suggest he add the JSON detail as a comment.
