JSONデータとGenerated_Columnを使う場合の考慮事項

Generated_Column(生成列)とJSONデータを扱う場合に考慮しておく事
MySQL5.7.9とMySQL5.7.10以降で挙動が異なる為、念の為こちらにメモしておきます。
基本的には、MySQL5.7.10で改善されたという事になります。

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=79552
>I think the behaviour you observed in 5.7.9 was actually a bug.
>The bug was fixed in 5.7.10, which is why you see different results now. There is some discussion about this in bug#78464 and bug#76834.

上記で定義された生成列からJSONデータをSELECTする場合
生成列のデータは””を含む為、SELECTした場合には””を付けなければいけない。

root@localhost [NEW57]> select id,feature_street from NEW57.features where feature_street = 'MARKET' limit 1;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

root@localhost [NEW57]> select id,feature_street from NEW57.features where feature_street = '"MARKET"' limit 1;

| 12250 | "MARKET"       |
+-------+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

上記の挙動としては、CASTした時に”(ダブルクオート)をそのまま付けるからという事のようです。
CASTしないでそのままjson_extract関数でSELECTした場合は”(ダブルクオート)は不要です。詳細は以下の例を参照下さい。

root@localhost [NEW57]> select * from NEW57.features where cast(json_extract(feature,'$.properties.STREET') as char) = 'MARKET' limit 1;

JSON_EXTRACTと生成列を常に同じように”(ダブルクオート)を利用する事無く比較するには？
結論としては,CASTしてしまうと”(ダブルクオート)はついてしまうので、生成列を作る時に以下の例のように、
json_unquoteとjson_extractを同時に使う事で常に”(ダブルクオート)を利用する事無くJSONデータを参照する事が可能になります。

CREATE TABLE `features_with_unquote` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `feature` json NOT NULL,
  `feature_type` varchar(30) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`feature`,'$.type'))) VIRTUAL,
  `feature_street` varchar(30) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`feature`,'$.properties.STREET'))) VIRTUAL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `idx_feature_type` (`feature_type`),
  KEY `idx_feature_street` (`feature_street`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=206561 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;


root@localhost [NEW57]> insert into features_with_unquote(id,feature) select id,feature from features;
Query OK, 206560 rows affected (9.62 sec)

json_extractでJSONデータを参照

root@localhost [NEW57]> select * from NEW57.features_with_unquote where json_extract(feature,'$.properties.STREET') = 'MARKET' limit 1;
