Question of the Day

Creating a JSON Document IV

I have this data in a table called dbo.NFLTeams

TeamID  TeamName       City             YearEstablished
------  --------       ----             ---------------
1       Cowboys        Dallas           1960
2       Eagles         Philadelphia     1933
3       Packers        Green Bay        1919

SELECT

  json_objectagg(city : TeamName)
FROM dbo.NFLTeams
GROUP BY  YearEstablished;
