Question

I need to select a key from a json_encodED array from mysql..

SELECT * FROM json_field_table WHERE {var from JSON encoded array} = {expected value}

or something..
How I can do this?

PS.: Poor English, I know..

You’d have to use substring matching. MySQL doesn’t have anything to deal with JSON data and treats it like it does any other piece of random text.

SELECT ... WHERE the_json_field LIKE '%"var":"value"%';
