JDBC Driver for Amazon Athena

Build 22.0.8462

FlattenObjects

Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON. To generate the column name, the driver concatenates the property name onto the object name with a dot.

For example, you can flatten the nested objects below at connection time:

[
     { "grade": "A", "score": 2 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 6 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 10 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 9 },
     { "grade": "B", "score": 14 }
]
When FlattenObjects is set to true and FlattenArrays is set to 1, the preceding array is flattened into the following table:

Column NameColumn Value
grades.0.gradeA
grades.0.score2
