I need to get result of sql query in JSON format via MSSQL 2014. I have wrote this code: 

SELECT bc.Id, bc.CityName, bc.ProvinceId FROM BusCity AS bc WHERE bc.Country=2 FOR JSON AUTO

But I am getting an error:

Incorrect syntax near 'JSON'.

Is this possible? How to do this?

    `FOR JSON` is not available with 2014. Here is an answer with an alternative approach https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6818441/sql-server-select-to-json-function – Ric Oct 23 '17 at 10:37

You running 2016 or higher?

FOR JSON was introduced then.

Type 

SELECT @@Version

To find out what version you're running.

  • Yup. It's not available on your version of SQL. – Paul Alan Taylor Oct 23 '17 at 10:41
