How to get a specific object in an JSON array in MySQL? - mysql

I have a JSON column "jobs" that looks like this:
[
{
"id": "1",
"done": "100",
"target": "100",
"startDate": "123123132",
"lastAction": "123123132",
"status": "0"
},
{
"id": "2",
"done": "10",
"target": "20",
"startDate": "2312321",
"lastAction": "2312321",
"status": "1"
}
]
I want to filter the array by object key values. For example: To find all items that have target > done, status != 0 and lastAction is yesterday to get response like this:
[
{
"id": "1",
"done": "19",
"target": "100",
"startDate": "123123132",
"lastAction": "123123132",
"status": "0"
}
]
I know I can extract the data to a JSON_TABLE() to do the filtering but I don't get the original object back(unless I recreate it back) and the solution is not dynamic.
Can this kind of array filtering can really be done in MySQL?

SELECT JSON_PRETTY(JSON_EXTRACT(jobs.jobs, CONCAT('$[', j.rownum-1, ']'))) AS object
FROM jobs
CROSS JOIN JSON_TABLE(
jobs.jobs, '$[*]' COLUMNS(
rownum for ordinality,
done int path '$.done',
target int path '$.target',
status int path '$.status'
)
) as j
WHERE j.target > j.done AND j.status != 0;
You also mentioned a condition on lastAction, but the example values you gave are not valid dates, so I'll leave that enhancement to you. The example above demonstrates the technique.

Yes it is possible to do it using the JSON_EXTRACT and JSON_SEARCH functions.
Let's say your table is named tbl_Jobs and the jobs column is of type JSON.
SELECT * FROM tbl_Jobs
WHERE JSON_EXTRACT(jobs, "$[*].target") = JSON_EXTRACT(jobs, "$[*].done")
AND JSON_EXTRACT(jobs, "$[*].status") != 0
AND JSON_SEARCH(jobs, 'one', DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY), NULL, "$[*].lastAction") IS NOT NULL

Conditionally update JSON column

I have a table which has ID & JSON columns. ID is auto incrementing column. Here are my sample data.
Row 1
1 | {
"HeaderInfo":
{
"Name": "ABC",
"Period": "2010",
"Code": "123"
},
"HData":
[
{ "ID1": "1", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "A", "Desc": "asdf" },
{ "ID1": "2", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "B", "Desc": "pqr" },
{ "ID1": "3", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "C", "Desc": "xyz" }
]
}
Row 2
2 | {
"HeaderInfo":
{
"Name": "ABC",
"Period": "2010",
"Code": "123"
},
"HData":
[
{ "ID1": "76", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "X", "Desc": "asdf" },
{ "ID1": "25", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "Y", "Desc": "pqr" },
{ "ID1": "52", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "Z", "Desc": "lmno" },
{ "ID1": "52", "Value": "$1.00", "Code": "B", "Desc": "xyz" }
]
}
and it keep goes. Items inside the HData section is infinite. It can be any numbers of items.
On this JSON I need to update the Value = "$2.00" where "Code" is "B". I should be able to do this with 2 scenarios. My parameter inputs are #id=2, #code="B", #value="$2.00". #id sometimes will be null. So,
If #id is null then the update statement should go through all records and update the Value="$2.00" for all items inside the HData section which has Code="B".
If #id = 2 then the update statement should update only the second row which Id is 2 for the items which Code="b"
Appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks
See DB Fiddle for an example.
declare #id bigint = 2
, #code nvarchar(8) = 'B'
, #value nvarchar(8) = '$2.00'
update a
set json = JSON_MODIFY(json, '$.HData[' + HData.[key] + '].Value', #value)
from so75416277 a
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON (json, '$.HData') HData
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON (HData.Value, '$')
WITH (
ID1 bigint
, Value nvarchar(8)
, Code nvarchar(8)
, [Desc] nvarchar(8)
) as HDataItem
WHERE id = #id
AND HDataItem.Code = #Code
The update / set statement says we want to replace the value of json with a new generated value / functions exactly the same as it would in any other context; e.g. update a set json = 'something' from so75416277 a where a.column = 'some condition'
The JSON_MODIFY does the manipulation of our json.
The first input is the original json field's value
The second is the path to the value to be updated.
The third is the new value
'$.HData[' + HData.[key] + '].Value' says we go from our JSON's root ($), find the HData field, filter the array of values for the one we're after (i.e. key here is the array item's index), then use the Value field of this item.
key is a special term; where we don't have a WITH block accompanying our OPENJSON statement we get back 3 items: key, value and type; key being the identifier, value being the content, and type saying what sort of content that is.
CROSS APPLY allows us to perform logic on a value from a single DB rowto return potentially multiple rows; e.g. like a join but against its own contents.
OPENJSON (json, '$.HData') HData says to extract the HData field from our json column, and return this with the table alias HData; as we've not included a WITH, this HData column has 3 fields; key, value, and type, as mentioned above (this is the same key we used in our JSONMODIFY).
The next OPENJSON works on HData.Value; i.e. the contents of the array item under HData. Here we take the object from this array (i.e. that's the root from the current context; hence $), and use WITH to parse it into a specific structure; i.e. ID1, Value, Code, and Desc (brackets around Desc as it's a keyword). We give this the alias HDataItem.
Finally we filter for the bit of the data we're interested in; i.e. on id to get the row we want to update, then on HDataItem.Code so we only update those array items with code 'B'.
Try the below SP.
CREATE PROC usp_update_75416277
(
#id Int = null,
#code Varchar(15),
#value Varchar(15)
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #SQLStr Varchar(MAX)=''
;WITH CTE
AS
( SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(PARTITION BY YourTable.Json ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))RowNo,*
FROM YourTable
CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(YourTable.Json,'$.HData')
WITH (
ID1 Int '$.ID1',
Value Varchar(20) '$.Value',
Code Varchar(20) '$.Code',
[Desc] Varchar(20) '$.Desc'
) HData
WHERE (#id IS NULL OR ID =#id)
)
SELECT #SQLStr=#SQLStr+' UPDATE YourTable
SET [JSON]=JSON_MODIFY(YourTable.Json,
''$.HData['+CONVERT(VARCHAR(15),RowNo-1)+'].Value'',
'''+CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX),#value)+''') '+
'WHERE ID ='+CONVERT(Varchar(15),CTE.ID) +' '
FROM CTE
WHERE Code=#code
AND (#id IS NULL OR ID =#id)
EXEC( #SQLStr)
END

How to update entire JSON object in JSONB postgres column except 1 field

for example I have a table:
CREATE TABLE fruit(id bigint, data jsonb);
and a row for example is:
1,
{
"type": "pinapple",
"store1": {
"first_added": "<some timestamp>",
"price": "10",
"store_id": "1",
"comments": "some comments..."
},
"store2": {
"first_added": "<some timestamp>",
"price": "11",
"store_id": "2",
"comments": "some comments..."
},
.... more stores
}
In case of update I have the fruit id and store data :
1,
"store1": {
"price": "12",
"store_id": "1",
"comments": "some comments...V2"
}
I want to update entire store object in fruit entry (for store1), except the first_added field.
Any idea how I can accomplish it via JSONB operators or functions?
Thanks
You can use
UPDATE fruit
SET data = data || jsonb_set($1::jsonb, '{store1,first_added}', data#>'{store1,first_added}')
WHERE id = 1;
(online demo)
where the parameter $1 is set to the value {"store1": {"price": "12", "store_id": "1", "comments": "some comments...V2"}}.
Or if you need the key to be dynamic, use
UPDATE fruit
SET data = jsonb_set(data, ARRAY[$2::text], jsonb_set($1::jsonb, '{first_added}', data->$2->'first_added'))
WHERE id = 1;
(online demo)
You can use the jsonb_set function to change the desired element, then use the jsonb_build_object function to create a new dataset, then concatenate the data with the || operator to keep the rest of the data(first_added,...)
update table1
set data = jsonb_set(data, '{store1}', jsonb_build_object('first_added', data->'store1'->'first_added', 'price', 12, 'store_id', 1, 'comments', 'some comments...V2'))
where id = 1;

How do you use JSON_QUERY with null json array inside of json object?

SELECT JSON_query([json], '$') from mytable
Returns fine the contents of [json] field
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$.Guid') from mytable
Returns null
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$.Guid[1]') from mytable
Returns null
I've also now tried:
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$[1].Guid')
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$[2].Guid')
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$[3].Guid')
SELECT JSON_query([json], '$[4].Guid')
and they all return null
So I'm stuck as to figuring out how create the path to get to the info. Maybe SQL Server json_query can't handle the null as the first array?
Below is the string that is stored inside of the [json] field in the database.
[
null,
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "15f4fe9d-403c-4820-8e35-8a8c8d78c33b",
"Team": "2",
"PlayerNumber": "78"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "8e91596b-cc33-4ce7-bfc0-ac3d1dc5eb67",
"Team": "2",
"PlayerNumber": "54"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "f53cd74b-ed5f-47b3-aab5-2f3790f3cd34",
"Team": "1",
"PlayerNumber": "23"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "30297678-f2cf-4b95-a789-a25947a4d4e6",
"Team": "1",
"PlayerNumber": "11"
}
]
You need to follow the comments below your question. I'll just summarize them:
Probably the most appropriate approach in your case is to use OPENJSON() with explicit schema (the WITH clause).
JSON_QUERY() extracts a JSON object or a JSON array from a JSON string and returns NULL. If the path points to a scalar JSON value, the function returns NULL in lax mode and an error in strictmode. The stored JSON doesn't have a $.Guid key, so NULL is the actual result from the SELECT JSON_query([json], '$.Guid') FROM mytable statement.
The following statements provide a working solution to your problem:
Table:
SELECT *
INTO Data
FROM (VALUES
(N'[
null,
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "15f4fe9d-403c-4820-8e35-8a8c8d78c33b",
"Team": "2",
"PlayerNumber": "78",
"TheProblem": "doesn''t"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "8e91596b-cc33-4ce7-bfc0-ac3d1dc5eb67",
"Team": "2",
"PlayerNumber": "54"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "f53cd74b-ed5f-47b3-aab5-2f3790f3cd34",
"Team": "1",
"PlayerNumber": "23"
},
{
"Round": 1,
"Guid": "30297678-f2cf-4b95-a789-a25947a4d4e6",
"Team": "1",
"PlayerNumber": "11"
}
]')
) v (Json)
Statements:
SELECT j.Guid
FROM Data d
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(d.Json) WITH (
Guid uniqueidentifier '$.Guid',
Round int '$.Round',
Team nvarchar(1) '$.Team',
PlayerNumber nvarchar(2) '$.PlayerNumber'
) j
SELECT JSON_VALUE(j.[value], '$.Guid')
FROM Data d
OUTER APPLY OPENJSON(d.Json) j
Result:
Guid

Expand Postgresql Nested Array Json Field

I have a table (log_table) and in this table there is a nested array json field (activities). With using this activities field, I want to normalize my row.
log_table:
- id:long
- activities:json
- date:timestamp
example activities field:
[
{
"actionType":"NOTIFICATION",
"items":null
},
{
"actionType":"MUTATION",
"items":[
{
"id":387015007,
"name":"epic",
"value":{
"currency":"USD",
"amount":1.76
}
},
{
"id":386521039,
"name":"test",
"value":{
"currency":"USD",
"amount":1.76
}
}
]
}
]
As query, I've tried:
select
*
from
log_table l,
json_array_elements(l.activities) elems,
json_array_elements(elems->'items') obj;
With this query, I got error like below:
ERROR: cannot call json_array_elements on a scalar
Is there any suggestion?
The lack of items should be marked as [null], not null. You can use the case expression to correct this, e.g.:
select elems->>'actionType' as action_type, obj
from log_table
cross join jsonb_array_elements(l.activities::jsonb) elems
cross join jsonb_array_elements(case elems->'items' when 'null' then '[null]' else elems->'items' end) obj
action_type | obj
--------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTIFICATION | null
MUTATION | {"id": 387015007, "name": "epic", "value": {"amount": 1.76, "currency": "USD"}}
MUTATION | {"id": 386521039, "name": "test", "value": {"amount": 1.76, "currency": "USD"}}

JSON Oracle SQL parsing / unnest embedded JSON data in escaped form

Here is my JSON stored in a CLOB column:
select upJSON from myLocations;
{"values":[
{"nameValuePairs":{"upJSON":"{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"fused\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":0.0}","id":"1","updated":"2015-03-30 20:28:51"}},
{"nameValuePairs":{"upJSON":"{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"FINDME\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":22.2}","id":"2","updated":"2015-03-30 20:28:53"}},
{"nameValuePairs":{"upJSON":"{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"fused\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":0.0}","id":"3","updated":"2015-03-30 20:28:55"}},
{"nameValuePairs":{"upJSON":"{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"fused\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":0.0}","id":"4","updated":"2015-03-30 20:28:57"}}
]}
(I have inserted newlines for clarity)
Please: What is the SQL (or PL/SQL) needed to select just the value of mProvider, mAltitude, and the id from the 2nd "nameValuePairs"
(= "FINDME" and 22.2 and "2") in the example above)
??
Since you're using 12c you have access to the native JSON parsing (as long as your CLOB column has an is json check constraint).
Some good background is available at:
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADXDB/json.htm#ADXDB6371
If you're JSON looks something like this:
{
"values": [
{
"nameValuePairs": {
"upJSON": {
"mResults": [
"0.0",
"0.0"
],
"mProvider": "fused",
"mDistance": "0.0",
"mAltitude": "22.2"
},
"id": "1",
"updated": "2015-03-30 20:28:51"
}
},
...
...
Although, when I put your snippet from the question into JSONLint it returns:
{
"values": [
{
"nameValuePairs": {
"upJSON": "{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"fused\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":0.0}",
"id": "1",
"updated": "2015-03-30 20:28:51"
}
},
{
"nameValuePairs": {
"upJSON": "{\"mResults\":[0.0,0.0],\"mProvider\":\"FINDME\",\"mDistance\":0.0,\"mAltitude\":22.2}",
"id": "2",
"updated": "2015-03-30 20:28:53"
}
},
Something like the following might get you started:
select
upJSON.values
from
myLocations
where
json_value(upJSON, '$nameValuePairs.id' returning varchar2 error on error) = '2';
If you want to limit the query to a single ID, you'll need to add a full-text or function-based index to the JSON column.
