Entering JSON data into MySQL?

Use the JSON data type to first set JSON data and then insert. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1876
   (
   EmployeeInformation JSON
   );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1876 values('{
   '> "EmployeeData":{
   '> "Name": "Chris",
   '> "Age": 27
   '> }
   '> }'
    );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1876 values('{
   '> "EmployeeData":{
   '> "Name": "David",
   '> "Age": 24
   '> }
   '> }'
    );
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1876;

This will produce the following output −

+------------------------------------------------+
| EmployeeInformation                            |
+------------------------------------------------+
| {"EmployeeData": {"Age": 27, "Name": "Chris"}} |
| {"EmployeeData": {"Age": 24, "Name": "David"}} |
+------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
