Sure, you can do that. You do it by creating a persistent virtual column on the attribute, using COLUMN_GET probably, and then creating a column on that. In a presentation on JSON and MySQL / MariaDB I show a simple example of this: http://www.slideshare.net/blueskarlsson/using-json-with-mariadb-and-mysql See slide 20 Of course we would like this to be even smarter, but this is what is available and works as we speak. /Karlsson MARK CALLAGHAN skrev 2014-04-26 17:29:
Does the support for virtual columns allow an index to be created on an attribute in a JSON object stored in a BLOB column?
