CREATE TABLE #test_data
(
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
birth_date DATE
);
-- Step 2: Insert rows
INSERT INTO #test_data
VALUES
(1, 'Olivia', '2025-01-05'),
(2, 'Emma', '2025-03-02'),
(3, 'Liam', '2025-11-15'),
(4, 'Noah', '2025-12-22');

t2.*
FROM OPENJSON(
(
SELECT t.* FROM #test_data AS t FOR JSON PATH

) t1
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(t1.value) t2; See possible answers
