   }
}

They want me to create a "like" query to know something like

Select id from mytable where details like '"servicios":%"1":"1"%"2":"2"%"3":"4"%"4":"7"'

(That query its not working by the way...)

It looks simple at first but, do you notice that "scalar" thing? and sometimes they say to me: That element it's not on the value, its on the key, but we are not sure where is it normally so, you need to show us both

Thats why i come here, cuz i spend 1 week trying (i solved that problem getting all the table and creating a function on php but now they want it with mysql...)

Please, help me

Try this:

SELECT * FROM `mytable` 
WHERE  `details`  REGEXP  
'"servicios":\{[ [.newline.]]*"0":"0",[ [.newline.]]*"1":"1",[ [.newline.]]*"2":"2",[ [.newline.]]*"3":"4",[ [.newline.]]*"4":"7",[ [.newline.]]*"5":"8"[ [.newline.]]*\}'
