While asking a question you need to provide a minimal reproducible example:

(1) DDL and sample data population, i.e. CREATE table(s) plus INSERT, T-SQL statements.

(2) What you need to do, i.e. logic, and your attempt implementation of it in T-SQL.

(3) Desired output based on the sample data in the #1 above.

(4) Your SQL Server version (SELECT @@version;)

I think that the person who gave you this assignment may be pulling your legs. To wit, when I run:

DECLARE @json nvarchar(MAX) = N'{ "SingleValues": [ { "fieldValue": "No", "fieldName": "Agreement" }, { "fieldValue": "John Doe", "fieldName": "StudentName" } ] }' SELECT isjson(@json)

The return value is 0. So to construct this string, we cannot use the FOR JSON functions in SQL Server (since it is not a matter of creating JSON), but we would have to roll our own. Which is not that fun.

Hi @PC238

How about this query?

CREATE TABLE #TEMP(StudentId INT, Agreement VARCHAR(20), StudentName VARCHAR(20)) INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES (1,'No','John Doe') SELECT *,CONCAT('{ "SingleValues": [ { "fieldValue": "' ,Agreement ,'", "fieldName": "Agreement" },{ "fieldValue": "' ,StudentName ,'", "fieldName": "StudentName" } ] }') AS [JSON] FROM #TEMP ;

Output:
