Insert JSON into a MySQL Table

Let us create a table and set a column value with type JSON

mysql> create table DemoTable1832
     (
     ListOfNames JSON
     );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1832(ListOfNames) values('["Sam", "Mike", "Carol"]');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1832(ListOfNames) values('["David", "Bob"]');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1832(ListOfNames) values('["Adam", "John","Sam"]');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1832;

This will produce the following output −

+--------------------------+
| ListOfNames              |
+--------------------------+
| ["Sam", "Mike", "Carol"] |
| ["David", "Bob"]         |
| ["Adam", "John", "Sam"]  |
+--------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
