Is it possible to bind HTML templates with JSON data dynamically without using a loop in sql server?
DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX) = '[{"name": "John Doe", "age": 30}, {"name": "Jane Smith", "age": 25}, {"name": "Bob Johnson", "age": 35}]'
DECLARE @htmlTemplate NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @htmlTemplate = N'
Name: ' + (SELECT JSON_VALUE(@json, '$[0].name')) + '
Age: ' + (SELECT JSON_VALUE(@json, '$[0].age')) + '
'
-- Insert the HTML template into the 'templatedemo' table
INSERT INTO templatedemo (template) VALUES (@htmlTemplate)

You can use
OPENJSONto parse the JSON array, and then we construct the HTML template for each item within theSELECTstatement.:Naimish MakwanaPosted Oct 17, 2023, 5:27 AM
In SQL Server, it is not possible to directly bind HTML templates with JSON data dynamically without using a loop or some form of dynamic SQL or custom code to iterate over the JSON data and generate HTML content for each item. SQL Server does not provide a built-in mechanism to perform this kind of transformation.
You would typically need to use a programming language or scripting language (e.g., C#, Python, JavaScript) to process the JSON data and generate the HTML content dynamically, using a loop or similar construct to iterate over the JSON elements. Once you have generated the HTML content for each item, you can then insert it into the database.
Here's an example of how you might do this using a SQL Server Stored Procedure and a loop in T-SQL:
