Json extract of ['a','b','c']

Question

My json is of the format ["a","b","c"]. I want to write a sql query such that

select *
from mytable
where a_column in json_extract["a","b","c"]

This logic does not work, because json_extract needs a path.

Is there any work around for this in mysql 8.0

Answer 1

SELECT *
FROM mytable
WHERE JSON_CONTAINS('["a","b","c"]', JSON_QUOTE(a_column));

I assume that the column a_column is a string-type column which contains a value like 'a'.
