JSON_ARRAY

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The JSON_ARRAY function is used to produce simple JSON arrays from scalar values, without aggregation(see also JSON_ARRAYAGG).

SELECT json_array(author.first_name, author.last_name)
FROM author
 
create.select(jsonArray(AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, AUTHOR.LAST_NAME))
      .from(AUTHOR)
      .fetch();

The result would look like this:

+----------------------+
| json_array           |
+----------------------+
| ["Paulo", "Coelho"]  |
| ["George", "Orwell"] |
+----------------------+
