How to search in mysql table where field in json array field?

Question

I have a table with JSON array field, I want a query that returns results from another table based on this field

table_a

+----+-------------+
| id | interestIds |
+----+-------------+
|  1 | [1, 2, 6, 7]|
+----+-------------+

table_b

+----+-------------+
| id | country     |
+----+-------------+
|  1 | Ghana       |
|  2 | Grenada     |

|  4 | Latvia      |
|  5 | Malawi      |

|  7 | Moldova     |
+----+-------------+

i want query like

select * from table_b where id in (select interestIds from table_a where id = 1)

Answer 1

You can use json_search() :

select b.*
from table_b
where exists (
    select 1 from table_a a where json_search(a.interestIds, 'one', b.id) is not null
)
