使用 ZA7F517F354216B63827 将 API 生成的嵌套 Json 数据存储到 SQL DB 中的最佳方法是什么

Question

I have a Json response coming from the API, i need to store this into a SQL DB from python. Apparently the Json data is nested. What is the best way to store this?

Is there a way i can create table automatically with the schema that is generating by Json response, like it needs to take columns names from Json response and needs to be quite dynamic that if in future if there is a new value coming in it needs to create a new column

Here is the Json data example -

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 111,
      "name": "Test",
      "client": {
        "id": 12,
        "name": "Test"
      },
      "office": {
        "id": 12,
        "name": "Test",
        "country": "Test"
      },
      "primaryContact": {
        "name": "<PrimaryContactName>",
        "email": "<PrimaryContactEmail>"
      },
      "data": [
        {
          "fieldid": 10,
          "fieldLabel": "Test1",
          "hasMutlipleValues": false,
          "multiValues": [],
          "fieldValue": "Test2",
          "sfid": 0
        },
        {
          "fieldid": 132,
          "fieldLabel": "Test3",
          "hasMutlipleValues": false,
          "multiValues": [],
          "fieldValue": "Test4"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "total": 1
}

I think the best way would be to store the json itself in db. Since you mentioned the JSON is dynamic in nature.

This is with mariadb.

CREATE TABLE Sample (id int, json_file JSON, PRIMARY KEY(id));

If the above method doesn't work you can convert the json to string and then store in db in a VARCHAR field.

import json
json_string = json.dump(json_file)

Creating columns as they are generated is something I feel is unnecessary.
