I have been working in the IT industry from 2008 onwards. My primary work involves administrating SQL servers. Apart from SQL, I like to learn and use new technologies which can assist a DBA for faster response and lead times. Monitoring, performance tuning, high-availability and database designing are my expertise. I also enjoy coding in platforms such as vb.net, C#, PowerShell and T-SQL.

Question of the Day

Fun with JSON I

I have some data in a table: 

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');
If I run this query, how many rows are returned? 
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(
     (
         SELECT t.* FROM #test_data AS t FOR JSON PATH
     )
             ) t;
