This one is bit complicated than sinmple range in mysql , my field data

This one is bit complicated than sinmple range in mysql ,
my field data is {"id":"15","value":"1200"} and I can find it by ,

SELECT * 
FROM  `my_table` 
WHERE  `my_field` 
REGEXP  '{"id":"15","value":"1200"}'

but what I need is the range for the value

so I need to look for range between 1000 > 2000 and field with json value 1200 should match.
I cant redo the output with php because it will eat up the resource , so please if it is possible within Mysql without me processing the data trough php on return

any help is appreciated!

SOLUTION TO ANYONE !

REGEXP '{"id":"15","value":"(1[0-9][0-9][0-9]|2000)"}'

    My knee-jerk reaction is to say “stop storing more than one value in a single column”, but if you have to do it that way and you have regex power, use it (untested):

    SELECT * 
FROM `my_table` 
WHERE `my_field` REGEXP '{"id":"15","value":"(1[0-9][0-9][0-9]|2000)"}'

    Keep in mind, there’s no way to optimize this query using indexes so you are stuck with examining every row in my_table.
