Hello Monty,
We discussed extracting data in JSON format today, to make it possible to return data as a single JSON value (as a result set consisting of a single row and a single column):
SELECT id,name,address FROM users FOR JSON;
This can be built on the existing functionality. "FOR JSON" is a result filter, something that gets the result of a query and transforms it into something different, different set of columns even. Natirally, in MySQL language this should've been SELECT id,name,address FROM users PROCEDURE JSON; And tada - it took only 15 years for a second useful procedure to appear :) Although, seriously, I don't expect PROCEDURE JSON to work out of the box - procedure api is way too old and hardly ever used. I woldn't be surprised if it's broken in many subtle ways. Regards, Sergei
