MySQL Recap

JSON Data Type

4

JSON Standardhttps://tools.ietf.org/h

tml/rfc7159&

http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-

404.htm

5

{ "id": 1, "name": "A green door", "price": 12.50, "tags": ["home", "green"]}

JSON Example

6

UTF8MB4The JSON standards specify that all JSON documents will be in the UTF8MB4 character set.

7

Not this Jason8

JSON is a data type like INT or CHAR in MySQL

5.7So you can save a

document in column of a row in a table of a

database!

9

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

10

--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.

11

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!!!!

12

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)

29

No IndexesJSON 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

30

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;

31

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.

32

New JSON FunctionsThis 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

33

pre production releaseThe 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.

34

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

See chapter 3 of the MySQL 5.7 Documentation
