Extract data from json inside mysql field

Question

I\'ve got a a table with rows, and one of the rows has a field with data like this

{\"name\":\"Richard\",\"lastname\":null,\"city\":\"Olavarria\",\"cityId\":         


        

Answer 1

This may be a little late, but the accepted answer didn't work for me. I used SUBSTRING_INDEX to achieve the desired result.

SELECT 
    ID, SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(JSON, '"mykey" : "', -1), '",', 1) MYKEY
FROM MY_TABLE;

Hope this helps.
