如何在 MySQL 中做嵌套的 JSON 对象

Question

I've made two tables for demonstrational purposes;

CREATE TABLE 'owners' (
    'id' int PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, 
    'firstname' varchar(20) NOT NULL, 
    'lastname' varchar(20) NOT NULL
);

and

CREATE TABLE 'cars' (
    'id' int PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, 
    'owner_id' int NOT NULL, 
    'brand' varchar(20), 
    'model' varchar(20)
);

I want to achieve this JSON:

[
   {
      "brand":"volvo",
      "model":"xc90",
      "owner":{
         "id":"1",
         "firstname":"Jon",
         "lastname":"Doe"
      }
   },
   {
      "brand":"bmw",
      "model":"m5",
      "owner":{
         "id":"1",
         "firstname":"Jon",
         "lastname":"Doe"
      }
   },
]

What should my query look like?

I've tried:

• JSON_ARRAYAGG()
• JSON_OBJECT()
• JSON_EXTRACT()
• Look at the documentation
• Looking for solution all over the internet
• Read almost every related Stackoverflow question and answers

Answer 1

Join the two tables to relate the cars with their owners.

Use JSON_OBJECT() to create the JSON objects, and combine them all into an array with JSON_ARRAYAGG() .

For the nested object, simply use a nested call to JSON_OBJECT() .

SELECT JSON_ARRAYAGG(
    JSON_OBJECT('brand', c.brand, 'model', c.model,
        'owner', JSON_OBJECT('id', o.id, 'firstname', o.firstname, 'lastname', o.lastname)
    )
)
FROM cars AS c 
JOIN owners AS o ON o.id = c.owner_id
