In this format, all data is represented as a single JSON Array.
:::note
The JSONCompactColumns output format buffers all data in memory to output it as a single block which can lead to high memory consumption.
:::
Using a JSON file with the following data, named as football.json:
[
["2022-04-30", "2022-04-30", "2022-04-30", "2022-05-02", "2022-05-02", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07", "2022-05-07"],

Insert the data:
INSERT INTO football FROM INFILE 'football.json' FORMAT JSONCompactColumns;
Read data using the JSONCompactColumns format:
SELECT *
FROM football
FORMAT JSONCompactColumns
The output will be in JSON format:
