Other comments, that you didn't reply to, does it mean you agree with them (like adding tests with values that need json-escaping)? Okay.

Right, it means that I just agreed with the comment.

I don't think we're going to need more unittest files so yep, will move it to strings/ Will check for missing functions from MySQL, try running MySQL tests with us, then push.

After that we'll still have one inconsistency with MySQL - that they have that JSON type for fields and values. JSON-values let the user to compare values as 'json'-s. Not sure anybody ever uses it. But JSON fields are probably good to import from MySQL, maybe in read-only mode. Just to let people switch to MariaDB easily over these JSON tables.

Yes... I think, out of missing features, JSON_TABLE is the most interesting, but also the comlexity is a big unknown. The second one would be GeoJSON (and it's fairly predictable), then goes JSON comparison and JSON data type. Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org
