Unwrapping, Unboxing and Installing SQL Clone

If you are evaluating a tool such as a text editor or spreadsheet, it is easy: you just install it, you run it, you decide whether you need it. Job done. However, a similar 'unboxing' or 'unwrapping' of SQL Clone, and installing across a network, is not so quick and easy. Phil Factor's solution is to install and run a complete installation of SQL Clone on a single box. This allows you to try everything out, creating images and deploying clones, while isolated from the network. It can then be extended across a network, subsequently, when it's been fully tested.

Question of the Day

Creating a JSON Document I

I want to create a JSON document that contains data from this table: 

TeamID  TeamName  City          YearEstablished
1       Cowboys   Dallas        1960
2       Eagles  Philadelphia  1933

SELECT json_objectagg('Team' : TeamName)
FROM dbo.NFLTeams;
