Call function in FROM clause (SQLite - json_each or MySQL - json_table) #60

Description

@JYone3A

It seems unsupported to call functions from within the FROM clause. Working example for SQLite:

SELECT one.name, group_concat(j.value, ', ') FROM one, json_each(one.stringArray) AS j GROUP BY one.id

Table one:

CREATE TABLE one (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    name TEXT,
    stringArray TEXT CHECK(json_valid(stringArray))
)

Data:

INSERT INTO "one" ("id", "name", "stringArray") VALUES ('1', 'John Doe',    '["apple","banana","cherry"]');
INSERT INTO "one" ("id", "name", "stringArray") VALUES ('2', 'Alice Smith', '["banana","grape","cherry"]');
INSERT INTO "one" ("id", "name", "stringArray") VALUES ('3', 'Bob Johnson', '["banana","apple","grape"]');

Update 1: also does not work with the json_table function supported by MySQL (see https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/json_table-the-best-of-both-worlds/):

SELECT people.* 
FROM t1, 
     JSON_TABLE(json_col, '$.people[*]' COLUMNS (
                name VARCHAR(40)  PATH '$.name',
                address VARCHAR(100) PATH '$.address')
     ) people;
