I have a table in a MySQL 5.7.12 database with a JSON column.
The data in the column has the following structure (the json array may contain multiple json objects):
[{"ste": "I", "tpe": "PS"}, {"ste": "I", "tpe": "PB"}]
I want to write aUPDATE
query to change the value ofste
oftpe=PB
.
This is my attempt:
Update user SET ext = JSON_SET(JSON_SEARCH(ext, 'one', 'PB', NULL, '$**.tpe'), '$.tpe', 'A');
The output of the query should be:
[{"ste": "I", "tpe": "PS"}, {"ste": "A", "tpe": "PB"}]
It doesn't work - it updates the column to:
"$[0].tpe"
How do I make it work?
edit
I think this makes more sense, but the syntax is still problematic
UPDATE user SET ext = JSON_SET(ext->JSON_SEARCH(ext, 'one', 'PS', NULL, '$**.tpe'), '$.tpe', 'A');
Hope you still need this.
Try using a variable path in your
JSON_SET
. UseJSON_SEARCH
to get the variable path, then replaceabsolute pathtpe
withste
to update its value. Works for me!
