json_replace

Description

Syntax

VARCHAR json_replace(VARCHAR json_str, VARCHAR path, VARCHAR val[, VARCHAR path, VARCHAR val] ...)

json_replace function updates data in a JSON and returns the result.Returns NULL if json_str or path is NULL. Otherwise, an error occurs if the json_str argument is not a valid JSON or any path argument is not a valid path expression or contains a * wildcard.

The path-value pairs are evaluated left to right.

A path-value pair for an existing path in the json overwrites the existing json value with the new value.

Otherwise, a path-value pair for a nonexisting path in the json is ignored and has no effect.
