Use JSON data type from MySQL to work with JSON. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> StudentName json -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.74 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('["John", "Chris", "Robert","David","Sam"]'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.33 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
Output
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------------------------------+ | StudentName | +---------------------------------------------+ | ["John", "Chris", "Robert", "David", "Sam"] | +---------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Here is how you can query JSON data type −
mysql> SELECT *from DemoTable WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(StudentName, '["Chris"]');
Output
This will produce the following output −
+---------------------------------------------+ | StudentName | +---------------------------------------------+ | ["John", "Chris", "Robert", "David", "Sam"] | +---------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.04 sec)
