SQLite provides several functions for inserting, setting, and replacing values in a JSON document. Specifically, it provides json_insert(), json_set(), and json_replace().
These functions perform similar tasks, and you can sometimes use them interchangeably to a certain point.
But there is definitely a clear difference between each function.
Continue readingIn MySQL, the COALESCE() operator returns the first non-NULL value in the list, or NULL if there are no non-NULL values.
In SQL Server, the COALESCE() expression returns its first non-null argument.
The way it works is, we pass a list of arguments to the expression, it evaluates the arguments in order and returns the current value of the first expression that initially doesn’t evaluate to NULL.
The -> and ->> operators were introduced in SQLite version 3.38.0, which was released on 22 February 2022. Both operators are used for extracting subcomponents of JSON. But there’s a subtle difference between them.
In PostgreSQL, we can use the upper() function to convert lowercase characters to their uppercase equivalent, according to the rules of the database’s locale.
In PostgreSQL, we can use the lower() function to convert uppercase characters to their lowercase equivalent, according to the rules of the database’s locale.
In PostgreSQL, we can use the initcap() function to format a string of text to use initial capitals. That is, it converts the first letter of each word to upper case and the rest to lower case.
In SQLite, the ->> operator extracts a subcomponent from a JSON document and returns an SQL representation of that subcomponent.
The ->> operator was first introduced in SQLite version 3.38.0 (released on 22 February 2022).
In SQLite, the -> operator extracts a subcomponent from a JSON document and returns a JSON representation of that subcomponent.
The -> operator was first introduced in SQLite version 3.38.0 (released on 22 February 2022).
In SQLite, json_tree() is a table-valued function that walks the JSON value provided as its first argument and returns a table consisting of one row for each array element or object member.
We provide the JSON value as an argument when we call the function.
