Examples

To use SIZE to get the in-memory size of several SUPER type expressions, use the following example.

CREATE TABLE test_super_size(a SUPER);
            
INSERT INTO test_super_size 
VALUES
  (null),
  (TRUE),
  (JSON_PARSE('[0,1,2,3]')),
  (JSON_PARSE('{"a":0,"b":1,"c":2,"d":3}'))
;

SELECT a, SIZE(a) 
FROM test_super_size 
ORDER BY 2, 1;
