distinctJSONPathsAndTypes

Calculates the list of distinct paths and their types stored in [JSON](https://rawtree.

Calculates the list of distinct paths and their types stored in JSON column.

:::note If JSON declaration contains paths with specified types, these paths will be always included in the result of distinctJSONPaths/distinctJSONPathsAndTypes functions even if input data didn't have values for these paths. :::

Syntax

distinctJSONPathsAndTypes(json)

Arguments

json — JSON column. JSON

Returned value

Returns the sorted map of paths and types. Map(String, Array(String))

Examples

Basic usage with mixed types

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_json;
CREATE TABLE test_json(json JSON) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO test_json VALUES ('{"a" : 42, "b" : "Hello"}'), ('{"b" : [1, 2, 3], "c" : {"d" : {"e" : "2020-01-01"}}}'), ('{"a" : 43, "c" : {"d" : {"f" : [{"g" : 42}]}}}');

SELECT distinctJSONPathsAndTypes(json) FROM test_json;

┌─distinctJSONPathsAndTypes(json)───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ {'a':['Int64'],'b':['Array(Nullable(Int64))','String'],'c.d.e':['Date'],'c.d.f':['Array(JSON(max_dynamic_types=16, max_dynamic_paths=256))']} │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

With declared JSON paths

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_json;
CREATE TABLE test_json(json JSON(a UInt32)) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO test_json VALUES ('{"b" : "Hello"}'), ('{"b" : "World", "c" : [1, 2, 3]}');

SELECT distinctJSONPathsAndTypes(json) FROM test_json;

│ {'a':['UInt32'],'b':['String'],'c':['Array(Nullable(Int64))']} │
