Need help writing stored procedures for JSON Web API data-CodePudding

I haven't written a stored procedure as yet. I have just deserialised some JSON data from a Web API feed. I've got some console writelines to confirm the data is being deserialised, but need to replace them with writing stored procedures for each piece of data which can then be called from the DB in a view later on.

I've looked up writing stored procedures in VS but none look like they would work in this way. I'm assuming that within the foreach I need to execute a SqlParameter of some kind to write the data attribute from the JSON to the DB table and respective column. Just a little stuck on where to start.

My program to fetch data from the API looks like this.

private static async void UpdateStreetWebApiProperties()
{
       var client = new HttpClient();
       var request = new HttpRequestMessage
       {
           Method = HttpMethod.Get,
           RequestUri = new Uri("https://inventorymanchester.co.uk/api/property-feed/sales/search"),
           Headers =
{
    { "ContentType", "application/json" },
    { "Authorization", "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiIxIiwianRpIjoiNzU5YTJlZjZmYjY0MWE3NjRiZGE5ZjdmYzk2ZDNkMjAwN2IwNTk1MTMyZWJlYjhjMmQ0MTUyZDZlODcwZGI4ODRiOTFmMWEzMGE5NDA0ZWEiLCJpYXQiOjE2NTU3MzQzNjAuNDA5OTY1LCJuYmYiOjE2NTU3MzQzNjAuNDA5OTcxLCJleHAiOjE5NzEzNTM1NjAuMTE2MzYzLCJzdWIiOiIxMzM0MjIiLCJzY29wZXMiOlsicHVibGljLWFwaSJdfQ.kxo8GVwKFRUgfyhrRqUrh6bQvJvv5PfJgken90RulA_hTKuX4zWPs6fZ6RkljSK1ECsPYfeNKF5Z_E-xYekRWtDKOcWCXp-wKKNfHWA7rwVU1NzzeghszqcQ0ojLqcqiJ_sxFXCyouvP6LW1-jlcWmYUaHrBu2rajSSyo-K3RN_uFq85Fc5_XkCAvTzO4U59ZcNU4nhRvj3SG2b4l0kZPGlTePkJafciToZ-Q618DYDtO1Q63hUY6X6CunjIIKXiw8h1o9qG9vlmV60JBuVZ4COzc05H-e4UrA3tYkxa6O6xi3baczCZFr97bTIwXMRlifUh8E6WS29T_2uIjSl5OIcaXLuDhrxYOUrfTsFuGU2SuwKKflps0jAUir1s_T_Fi4sPiC5BqvvbrPSBHXlNQpguIN6nYCK4FXW2ixALjs5e2JKN5gMmOCFeqzEmZJAkrHR0iN7n-UbWwsX7dh8ODss3XprckzadC-f_EHiY4ZDSdKPPnJTukkA0V-ezafoO-hBPeiiPOo-IH3kqCyElUMv2sosV4yaFT8DhFlrivCAktwXz4vkKTUYhjuueWU-QxX1y2MwE0zT32SKb21Bwp4Z7nJ0Fa84_CglbWWZZVglJh6Rrgmmg17DgxpSJx3qCiqqum3UrKGTYuLTube47zjumFQeyy1cYUWmqcRG84OQ" },

       };

       using (var response = await client.SendAsync(request))
       {
           response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
           
           if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
           {
               var properties = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();  
               string strBufJSON = properties;
               // above is web service results

               JsonModel.JSONModel.Rootobject jData;

               jData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonModel.JSONModel.Rootobject>(strBufJSON);

               foreach (var data in jData.data)
               {

                   Console.WriteLine(data.attributes.public_url);
                   Console.WriteLine(data.attributes.inline_address);
                   Console.WriteLine(data.attributes.sale_status);
                   Console.WriteLine(data.attributes.bathrooms);
               }          
           }
           else
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Could not get properties");
           }
       }
}

I have outlined my table like this and matched my JSON data attributes to match the table columns in a hope it makes it easier: I'm running SQL Server 2014 just FYI.

So the idea is we have "id" going into Pid, "inline_address" going into "inlineaddress" and so on. I don't need to store everything that's a part of the JSON string. Just parts that match the db columns if that makes sense.

CodePudding user response：

The easiest method to bulk insert this might be to send the whole JSON string to SQL Server and parse it there using OPENJSON.

This is a somewhat complex JSON, as it has references in its properties to other properties.

Therefore it's probably best to first parse out the included array values into a table variable, then join it back to the main array.

It's unclear where you get virtualtour from, so I've left it out.
Note the data types, your current types leave what to be desired. latitude should not be an int, it should be a decimal, and price should not be varchar. The IDs appear to all be uniqueidentifier.
You don't need to specify a path if the property name is an exact match.
Nested arrays with more than one object must be parsed using a separate OUTER APPLY OPENJSON. In this instance you don't have any apart from included which we are parsing separately into a table variable.

CREATE OR ALTER PROC dbo.InsertJSON

Your C# code should look like this

Use await wherever possible.
Pass parameters with the exact SqlDbType and precision/length.

...
           if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
           {
               var properties = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
               await InsertJSON(properties);
           }
....

private static async Task InsertJSON(string json)
{
    using (var conn = new SqlConnection(YourConnString))
    using (var comm = new SqlCommand("dbo.InsertJSON", conn))
    {
        comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        comm.Parameters.Add("@json", SqlDbType.NVarChar, -1).Value = json;  // -1 means max
        await conn.OpenAsync();
        await comm.ExecuteNonQueryAsync();
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

Well, since you ALREADY have a nice parsing system of the data setup, and you ALREADY have a nice class object that represents the json which is now a great easy to use class object?

Then all we need and are asking here?

How can I insert a row of data into a table?

The above is YOUR ONLY question here.

So your code (warning - air code follows), will be somewhat like this:

string strSQL
  = @"INSERT into [Tortoise_Street_Properties]
    (Pid, InLineAddress) VALUES(@Pid, @Address)";

 // replace TEST4 and properites with your conneciton string.
 using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4))
 {
    using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL, conn))
    {
     cmdSQL.Parameters.Add("@Pid", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = data.attributes.Pid;
     cmdSQL.Parameters.Add("@Address", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = data.attributes.InLineAddress;

     conn.Open();
     cmdSQL.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
 }

So, you simple outline the columns, setup the values from the object, and then insert the values.

We really don't care if you have 3 vars A, B, C, are reading a text file, or you have that complex json object.

Your goal, your question, your quest?

How can I insert some data into a database. That is the skill set and goal of yours.

edit: The only issue is that some of the data is "repeating", and thus above simple insert code shows the field mapping and a simple insert of data into a table? You might have a outer loop - a for each on the particular data array. But, remember, you have a class type EVEN for those repeating data, and you want to use that class defined for the array.

You have STRONG typed data with that existing class, and you are now free to pull out data from the class with great ease. Simple find and get the data you want from that class, and use a simple SQL insert statement as per above.

Also, for creating say half a dozen little inserts? VERY little need to create a store procedure for each routine - just code out the simple sql and insert as per above. I would only write a gazillion little insert store procedures if you need them in more then one place in your code. Writing a store procedure for what amounts to a simple one line sql insert is a formula for world poverties - it just not required.
