🥋 Look Inside the JSON File

Notice the square bracket that surrounds the author records. This could cause the same

issues we saw with the XML file. It could cause all the data to end up in a single row, but this
time we're going to change a setting in the FILE FORMAT we create. We're going to tell the
FILE FORMAT that it should ignore that first set of square brackets, and treat the curly
brackets as the row delineator.
 

🥋 Create a Table & File Format for Raw JSON Data

// JSON DDL Scripts

USE LIBRARY_CARD_CATALOG;

// Create an Ingestion Table for JSON Data

CREATE TABLE "LIBRARY_CARD_CATALOG"."PUBLIC"."AUTHOR_INGEST_JSON"

"RAW_AUTHOR" VARIANT

);

//Create File Format for JSON Data

CREATE FILE FORMAT "LIBRARY_CARD_CATALOG"."PUBLIC".JSON_FILE_FORMAT

TYPE = 'JSON'
COMPRESSION = 'AUTO'
ENABLE_OCTAL = FALSE
ALLOW_DUPLICATE = FALSE

STRIP_OUTER_ARRAY = TRUE

STRIP_NULL_VALUES = FALSE

IGNORE_UTF8_ERRORS = FALSE;

🎯 Download a JSON File and Load It 

This is  a Challenge Lab so we don't give you step-by-step instructions. You should be able

to load this file* based on what you have already learned. 

Here are some high-level steps: 

1) Download the file named author_with_header.json

2) Upload the data into the table you just created called AUTHOR_INGEST_JSON. (Be sure

to use the JSON file format!)

3) View the rows in the table. 

*If you have trouble downloading the file, right-click the link and choose "Save link as..."
