MySQL Recap
JSON Data
Type
9. JSON is a data
type like INT or
CHAR in MySQL
5.7
--
So you can save a
document in column of a
row in a table of a
database!
10. Note:
MySQL handles strings used in JSON context
using the utf8mb4 character set and
utf8mb4_bin collation. Strings in other
character sets are converted to utf8mb4 as
necessary. (For strings in the ascii or utf8
character sets, no conversion is needed
because ascii and utf8 are subsets of
utf8mb4.)
--https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json.html
11. --https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json.html
Optimized storage format: JSON documents
stored in JSON columns are converted to an
internal format that permits quick read access to
document elements. When the server later must
read a JSON value stored in this binary format, the
value need not be parsed from a text
representation. The binary format is structured
to enable the server to look up subobjects or
nested values directly by key or array index
without reading all values before or after them in
the document.
12. You could store
JSON data in a
CHAR/Varchar/text
field but there are
no easy to use
functions to help or
you end up using
regex -- ughh!!!!
13. mysql>CREATE TABLE foobar (foo INT, bar JSON);
mysql>INSERT INTO foobar VALUES (1,'{ "name" :
"dave", "home" : [ "Justin", "Texas", 76247 ]}');
mysql> SELECT * FROM foobar;
+------+------------------------------------------------------+
| foo | bar |
+------+------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | {"home": ["Justin", "Texas", 76247], "name": "dave"} |
+------+------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

16. JSON_EXTRACT
JSON_EXTRACT(json_doc, path[, path …])
mysql> SELECT json_extract(bar,'$.Breed')
FROM foo;
+-----------------------------+
| json_extract(bar,'$.Breed') |
+-----------------------------+
| NULL |
| ["Beagle", "Small"] |
+-----------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
17. JSON_EXTRACT shorthand ->
column->path
mysql> SELECT bar->'$.Breed' FROM foo;
+---------------------+
| bar->'$.Breed' |
+---------------------+
| NULL |
| ["Beagle", "Small"] |
+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
18. Example
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| id | bar |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | {"name": "Dave"} |
| 2 | {"name": "Jack", "Breed": ["Beagle", "Small"]} |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
19. JSON_contains
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| id | bar |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | {"name": "Dave"} |
| 2 | {"name": "Jack", "Breed": ["Beagle", "Small"]} |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT json_contains(bar,'{"name": "Dave"}')
FROM foo;
+-------------------------------------------+
| json_contains(bar,'{"name": "Dave"}') |
+-------------------------------------------+
| 1 |
| 0 |
+-------------------------------------------+
20. JSON_contains_path
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| id | bar |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | {"name": "Dave"} |
| 2 | {"name": "Jack", "Breed": ["Beagle", "Small"]} |
+------+------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select json_contains_path(bar,'one','$.Breed') from
foo;
+-----------------------------------------+ [ONEALL]
| json_contains_path(bar,'one','$.Breed') |
+-----------------------------------------+
| 0 |
| 1 |
+-----------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
20
21. JSON_contains_path
mysql> select json_contains_path(bar,'one','$.Breed') from
foo;
+-----------------------------------------+
| json_contains_path(bar,'one','$.Breed') |
+-----------------------------------------+
| 0 |
| 1 |
+-----------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from foo where
json_contains_path(bar,’one’,’$.Breed);
21
An example using a WHERE clause.
22. JSON_INSERT
mysql> UPDATE foo set bar = JSON_INSERT(bar, '$[99]', 'x');
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| id | bar |
+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | [{"name": "Dave"}, "x"] |
| 2 | [{"name": "Jack", "Breed": ["Beagle", "Small"]}, "x"] |
+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
22
Insert position,
append to end if
not exist
26. No Indexes
JSON columns, like columns of other
binary types, are not indexed directly;
instead, you can create an index on a
generated column that extracts a
scalar value from the JSON column.
--http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json.html
27. mysql> CREATE TABLE snafu
(stuff JSON,
idx INT GENERATED ALWAYS AS ('stuff->$.id'));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
Generated JSON data index
This index can be used in a SQL query to quickly
find particular IDs
SELECT * FROM snafu WHERE idx = 17;
28. IS THIS JSON STUFF GOOD IDEA?
Schemaless data is handy, easy to implement, and
needs no data architecting. Or DBA
But their is no enforced rigor to the data, is can be
messy, inconsistent (E-mail, email, e_mail, eMail),
and it is hard to get insights into the nature of the
data. Also confusing as data evolves.
But if you need to store JSON formatted data, this is
a pretty good way to do so.
29. New JSON Functions
This release adds an unquoting extraction operator ->>, sometimes also referred to as an inline
path operator, for use with JSON documents stored in MySQL. The new operator is similar to the ->
operator, but performs JSON unquoting of the value as well. For a JSON column mycol and JSON
path expression mypath, the following three expressions are equivalent:
JSON_UNQUOTE( JSON_EXTRACT(mycol, "$.mypath") )
JSON_UNQUOTE(mycol->"$.mypath")
mycol->>"$.mypath"
The ->> operator can be used in SQL statements wherever JSON_UNQUOTE(JSON_EXTRACT())
would be allowed. This includes (but is not limited to) SELECT lists, WHERE and HAVING clauses, and
ORDER BY and GROUP BY clauses.
Mysql 8 - developer milestone release
30. New JSON Functions
Starting with MySQL 8.0 (lab release) two new
aggregation functions were added and can be
used to combine data into JSON
arrays/objects:
JSON_ARRAYAGG()
JSON_OBJECTAGG()
Mysql 8 - developer milestone release
31. preproduction release
The MySQL Document Store is a schema-less and
therefore schema-flexible, storage system for documents.
When using MySQL as a document store, to create documents
describing products you do not need to know and define all
possible attributes of any products before storing them and
operating with them. This differs from working with a
relational database and storing products in a table, when all
columns of the table must be known and defined before
adding any products to the database.
32. CRUD Operations -- Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations
are the four basic operations that can be performed on a database
Collection or Table. In terms of MySQL this means:
X Plugin The MySQL Server plugin which enables communication using X
Protocol. Supports clients that implement X DevAPI and enables you to use
MySQL as a document store.
X Protocol A protocol to communicate with a MySQL Server running X
Plugin. X Protocol supports both CRUD and SQL operations, authentication
via SASL, allows streaming (pipelining) of commands and is extensible on
the protocol and the message layer
