Extracting document data

In this exercise, you'll practice using the json_extract_path and json_extract_path_text functions to query the review column of the nested_reviews table, which is shown below.

nested_reviews table, showing sample data.

A connection object has been created and stored in the variable db_engine, and pandas has been imported as pd. Best of luck!

Exercise instructions

  • Query the value stored in the statement field in the review column of the nested_reviews table, using the json_extract_path function.
  • Query the nested reviewer field, using the json_extract_path_text function.
  • Refine your query to include only those records where the branch information, extracted as text from the JSON data, matches 'Disneyland_California'. Use the appropriate function to parse through the JSON structure and isolate this particular field to be filtered.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Return the statement and reviewer fields, filter by the 
# nested branch field
query = """
    SELECT 
        ____(review, '____'),
        ____
    FROM nested_reviews
    WHERE ____(____, '____', '____') = 'Disneyland_California';
"""

data = pd.read_sql(query, db_engine)
print(data)
