Agenda
● JSON INTRODUCTION
● JSON in MySQL
● JSON Functions
● Changes in JSON Functions
● Common JSON functions in MySQL 5.7 & 8.0
● Performance Improvement in 8.0
● Production Use cases
4

JSON Introduction
● Douglas Crockford first introduced the JSON format in 2000.
● Compared to XML, JSON consumes less memory and increases parsing speed.
● JSON is a lightweight format for storing and transporting data.
● JSON is often used when data is sent from a server to a web page.
● JSON was supported by document DB’s in MongoDB(2007), Cassandra(2008).
5

JSON in MySQL
● MySQL introduced a native JSON data type in MySQL 5.7.8 (2015)
● The server would make sure it was a valid JSON document and then save it in a binary format.
● In MySQL JSON data type, a set of SQL functions is available to enable operations on JSON
values, such as creation, manipulation, and searching.
● The Documents are stored in Objects and Array format.

MySQL 5.7 MySQL 8.0
JSON_APPEND() (deprecated 5.7.9) JSON_TABLE()
JSON_MERGE() (deprecated 5.7.22) JSON_STORAGE_FREE()
JSON_ARRAYAGG()
JSON_OBJECTAGG()

Common JSON Functions in 5.7 & 8.0
● JSON_OBJECT()
● JSON_ARRAY()
● JSON_MERGE()
● JSON_PRETTY()
● JSON_TYPE()
● JSON_STORAGE_SIZE()
10
● JSON_EXTRACT()
● JSON_REPLACE()
● JSON_REMOVE()
● JSON_INSERT()
● JSON_SEARCH()

JSON_OBJECT()
● The JSON object it takes a list of key/value pairs and returns a JSON object containing those
pairs.
Example:
mysql> select json_object(doc->>'$.prod_id',doc->>'$.prod_name') from mydbops_labs_test;
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| json_object(doc->>'$.prod_id',doc->>'$.prod_name') |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| {"1": "Television"} |
| {"2": "Speaker"} |
| {"3": "Mobile Phone"} |
| {"4": "Keyboard"} |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
12

JSON_ARRAY()
● JSON_ARRAY() will convert the given elements into the array structured format.
Example:
mysql> select json_array(doc) from mydbops_labs_test;
+-------------------------------------------------+
| json_array(json_text) |
+-------------------------------------------------+
| [{"prod_id": "1", "prod_name": "Television"}] |
| [{"prod_id": "2", "prod_name": "Speaker"}] |
| [{"prod_id": "3", "prod_name": "Mobile Phone"}] |
| [{"prod_id": "4", "prod_name": "Keyboard"}] |
+-------------------------------------------------+
● By default, JSON will deliver the result in the Array format only.
13

JSON_MERGE()
● Merge the Array and Object contents and returns the output in array format.
● It’s simply like concat operation.
● Json_merge() = [ array_elements + {object} ].
● This function is removed in MySQL 8.0.3
mysql> select doc1, doc, json_merge(doc1,doc) from mydbops_labs_test1;
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| doc1 | doc | json_merge(doc1,doc)
|
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| [1, "First Product"] | {"prod_id": "1", "prod_name": "Television"} | [1, "First Product", {"prod_id": "1", "prod_name": "Television"}] |
| [2, "Second Product"] | {"prod_id": "2", "prod_name": "Speaker"} | [2, "Second Product", {"prod_id": "2", "prod_name": "Speaker"}] |
| [3, "Third Product"] | {"prod_id": "3", "prod_name": "Mobile Phone"} | [3, "Third Product", {"prod_id": "3", "prod_name": "Mobile Phone"}] |
| [4, "Fourth Product"] | {"prod_id": "4", "prod_name": "Keyboard"} | [4, "Fourth Product", {"prod_id": "4", "prod_name": "Keyboard"}] |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
14

JSON_PRETTY()
● Displays the Json values in pretty format. Easy to read
mysql> select json_pretty(doc) from mydbops_test limit 2;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| json_pretty(doc) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| [
1,
"First Product",
{
"prod_id": "1",
"prod_name": "Television"
}
] |
| [
2,
"Second Product",
{
"prod_id": "2",
"prod_name": "Speaker"
}
] |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
15

JSON_REPLACE()
● Replace data at multiple places in the document if required. To do this, simply provide multiple
path/value pairs as required.
mysql> update mydbops_labs_test1 set doc= json_replace(doc,'$.prod_name','Air conditioner') where
json_unquote(json_extract(doc1,'$[1]'))='Third Product';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from mydbops_labs_test1;
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
| doc | gen | doc1 | order_name |
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
| {"prod_id": "1", "prod_name": "Television"} | 1 | [1, "First Product"] | Sample |
| {"prod_id": "2", "prod_name": "Speaker"} | 2 | [2, "Second Product"] | Sample |
| {"prod_id": "3", "prod_name": "Air conditioner"} | 3 | [3, "Third Product"] | Sample |
| {"prod_id": "4", "prod_name": "Bluetooth"} | 4 | [4, "Fourth Product"] | Sample |
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
19

JSON_REMOVE()
● Remove data at multiple places in the document if required. To do this, simply provide multiple
mysql> update mydbops_labs_test1 set doc= json_remove(doc,'$[0].prod_name') where
json_unquote(json_extract(doc1,'$[1]'))='Fourth Product';
mysql>
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
| {"prod_id": "4"} | 4 | [4, "Fourth Product"] | Sample |
+--------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
20

JSON_INSERT()
● Insert data at multiple places in the document if required. To do this, simply provide multiple
mysql> update mydbops_labs_test1 set doc= json_insert(doc,'$.prod_name','Bluetooth','$.prod_test','Test') where
json_unquote(json_extract(doc1,'$[1]'))='Fourth Product';
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
| {"prod_id": "4", "prod_name": "Bluetooth", "prod_test": "Test"} | 4 | [4, "Fourth Product"] | Sample |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+------+-----------------------+------------+
21

JSON_EXTRACT()
● Used to extract the particular elements from the Json document.
ARRAY:
mysql> select doc1,json_extract(doc1,'$[1]') from mydbops_labs_test1 limit 2;
+-----------------------+---------------------------------+
| doc1 | json_extract(doc1,'$[1]') |
+-----------------------+---------------------------------+
| [1, "First Product"] | "First Product" |
| [2, "Second Product"] | "Second Product" |
+-----------------------+---------------------------------+
OBJECT:
mysql> select doc,json_extract(doc,'$.prod_name') from mydbops_labs_test1 limit 2;
+---------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
| doc | json_extract(doc,'$.prod_name') |
+---------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
| {"prod_id": "1", "prod_name": "Television"} | "Television" |
| {"prod_id": "2", "prod_name": "Speaker"} | "Speaker" |
+---------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
23

JSON_SEARCH()
● Returns the position (or) path of the given search pattern.
● Search function has 2 options.
○ ONE
○ ALL
Example:
mysql> select json_search(doc,'ALL','Bluetooth') from mydbops_labs_test1; +-----------------------
-------------------+
| json_search(doc,'ALL','Bluetooth') |
+------------------------------------------+
| NULL |
| NULL |
| NULL |
| ["$.prod_name", "$.prod_test"] |
+------------------------------------------+
24

Performance Improvement in 8.0
1) Faster Update
2) Faster Replication
3) Transform JSON data into relational data
4) Remove Ambiguity
25

Faster Update
● Faster updates, when compared to 5.7
● While using Json functions like json_replace() ( manipulation operations )
MySQL 5.7:
mysql> update jemp set c=json_replace(c,'$.name','mydbops');
Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (30.13 sec)
MySQL 8.0:
mysql> update jemp set c=json_replace(c,'$.name','mydbops');
Query OK, 1000000 rows affected (14.68 sec)
26

Replication use cases
● In MySQL 5.7 update made in JSON document, it will log as a full document in binary log &
replicate the same into slave.
Config settings,
● log-bin
● Binlog_format = ROW
● Binlog_row_image = minimal
27

Replication use cases
In MySQL 8.0 new variable called (binlog_row_value_options)
Binlog settings :
● binlog_row_value_options=partial_json
EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON should tell if an UPDATE statement will attempt to perform partial update,
and which columns are eligible for partial update.
28

Replication use case
INSERT:
mysql> insert into mydbops values(1,'{"tag": "desk1 addr1 history1 grade1",
"book": "table1 and emp_historicaldata", "emp_id": "A1340", "designation":
"MySQL DBA", "position_grade": "A1 grade1 and MASTER in MySQL"}');
UPDATE:
mysql > update mydbops set emp_details =
json_replace(emp_details,'$.emp_id','A1990');
29

Without Partial JSON:
#190209 8:09:15 server id 1 end_log_pos 1233 CRC32 0x9020cc33
Update_rows: table id 112 flags: STMT_END_F

emp_historicaldatax05A1990x09MySQL DBAx1dA1 grade1 and MASTER in MySQL' /*
JSON meta=4 nullable=1 is_null=0 */
30

With Partial JSON:
# mysqlbinlog -vvv --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.000002 > log_02
# at 1081
#190209 8:27:02 server id 2 end_log_pos 1147 CRC32 0x08e02f55
Update_rows_partial: table id 69 flags: STMT_END_F
### UPDATE `testing`.`mydbops`
### WHERE
### @1=1 /* INT meta=0 nullable=0 is_null=0 */
### SET
### @2=JSON_REPLACE(@2, '$.emp_id', 'A1990') /* JSON meta=4 nullable=1
is_null=0 */
# at 1147
#190209 8:27:02 server id 2 end_log_pos 1178 CRC32 0xaf9dc5b7 Xid =

COMMIT/*!*/;
31

Benefits :
● One of the major advantage is less disk usage.
Reduce disk (IO) :
● By avoiding to logging the full document, we can save the disk usage (IO).
Note :
● More information can be found in our blog on Partial Json updates
(Mydbops)
32

Transform JSON data into relational data
● In MySQL 8.0 introduce new function called JSON_TABLE.
● This JSON_TABLE will convert a JSON document into a relational table.
Example :
mysql > select name,Designation from json_check,json_table(c,'$' columns(name varchar(20)
path '$.name',Designation varchar(20) path '$.Designation')) as a limit 3;
+-------+-------------+
| name | Designation |
+-------+-------------+
| John | DBA |
| Chris | Developer |
| Tom | QA |
+-------+-------------+
34

Remove Ambiguity
● The json_merge() function is deprecated in MySQL 8.0 to remove ambiguity for the merge
operation.
● The json_merge_patch() removes any member in the first object with a matching key in the
second object.
Example :
mysql> select JSON_Merge_patch('{ "a": 1, "b":2}','{ "a": 3, "c":4 }','{"a":5}') as
remove;
+--------------------------+
| remove |
+--------------------------+
| {"a": 5, "b": 2, "c": 4} |
+--------------------------+
35

Production Use Cases
Current Scenario :
● One master slave setup with 3 node document store cluster.
● Storing 80 % data in mysql 5.6 and 20 % data storing in 3 node document store cluster.
● Their application architecture also little complex.
● Server maintenance cost also high.
36

Production Use Cases
Solution :
We suggested to MySQL 8.0.
Benefits :
● To reducing the server cost.
● To reducing the application level complexity and server maintenance .
