JSON_KEYS
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The JSON_KEYS function is a non-standard JSON function inspired by MySQL's JSON_KEYS function, which can be used to extract keys of a JSON object into an JSON array.
SELECT json_keys(json_object( KEY 'a' VALUE 1 KEY 'b' VALUE 2 ))
create.select(jsonKeys(jsonObject(
key("a").value(1),
key("b").value(2))))
.fetch();
The result would look like this:
+-----------+ | json_keys | +-----------+ | ["a","b"] | +-----------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
jsonKeys(jsonObject(key("a").value(1), key("b").value(2)))
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
