 ### Request Correlation
 
 HTTP, Arrow Flight, and Flight SQL requests accept a `spice-trace-id` header (gRPC metadata for Flight) carrying a 32-character hexadecimal trace ID. The runtime records the ID in [`runtime.task_history`](../reference/task_history#correlating-requests-with-spice-trace-id) and prefixes the query's log records with it. SQL query responses return the ID in a `spice-trace-id` header.
+
+### HTTP SQL Response Formats
+
+`POST /v1/sql` returns results in the format named by the `Accept` header: `application/json` (default), `application/vnd.spiceai.sql.v1+json`, `text/csv`, or `text/plain`. `POST /v1/nsql` accepts the same formats.
+
+`application/vnd.spiceai.sql.v1+json` returns a single JSON object with the result schema, the rows, the row count, and, when requested, the SQL that ran. Starting in v2.5, the keys are written in the order `schema`, `data`, `row_count`, `sql`, and the response streams rows as the query produces them, as `application/json` and `text/csv` do. `row_count` follows `data` because the count is known only after the last row is sent. Earlier versions buffered the whole result and wrote `row_count` first.

+```json
+{
+  "schema": {
+    "fields": [
+      {
+        "name": "id",
+        "data_type": "Int64",
+        "nullable": false,
+        "dict_id": 0,
+        "dict_is_ordered": false
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "data": [{ "id": 1 }, { "id": 2 }],
+  "row_count": 2
+}
+```
+
+JSON object keys are unordered, so clients that parse the response as an object, including the Spice SDKs, are unaffected. Clients that read the body as text or match on key positions should parse it as JSON instead. Starting in v2.5, `DECIMAL` values in this format keep their exact digits and scale, the same as `application/json`. Earlier versions converted them to floating-point numbers.
