Include Null Values in JSON - INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES Option

  • Raksts

Applies to: SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics (serverless SQL pool only)

To include null values in the JSON output of the FOR JSON clause, specify the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option.

If you don't specify the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option, the JSON output doesn't include properties for values that are null in the query results.

Examples

The following example shows the output of the FOR JSON clause with and without the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option.

Without the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option With the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option
{ "name": "John", "surname": "Doe" } { "name": "John", "surname": "Doe", "age": null, "phone": null }

Here's another example of a FOR JSON clause with the INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES option.

Query

SELECT name, surname  
FROM emp  
FOR JSON AUTO, INCLUDE_NULL_VALUES

Result

[{
    "name": "John",
    "surname": null
}, {
    "name": "Jane",
    "surname": "Doe"
}]
