Examples

Example

Compares two JSON documents. Returns true (1) if the two document have any key-value pairs or array elements in common. If both arguments are scalars, the function performs a simple equality test. If either argument is NULL, the function returns NULL.

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,5,7]");
+---------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,5,7]") |
+---------------------------------------+
|                                     1 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,6,7]");
+---------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,6,7]") |
+---------------------------------------+
|                                     1 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,6,8]");
+---------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS("[1,3,5,7]", "[2,6,8]") |
+---------------------------------------+
|                                     0 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Example 2

This function serves as counterpart to JSON_CONTAINS(), which requires all elements of the array searched for to be present in the array searched in. Thus, JSON_CONTAINS() performs an AND operation on search keys, while JSON_OVERLAPS() performs an OR operation.

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('[[1,2],[3,4],5]', '[1,[2,3],[4,5]]');
+-----------------------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('[[1,2],[3,4],5]', '[1,[2,3],[4,5]]') |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
|                                                   0 |
+-----------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Example 3

Queries on JSON columns of InnoDB tables using JSON_OVERLAPS() in the WHERE clause can be optimized using multi-valued indexes. Multi-Valued Indexes, provides detailed information and examples.

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('{"a":1,"b":10,"d":10}', '{"c":1,"e":10,"f":1,"d":10}');
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('{"a":1,"b":10,"d":10}', '{"c":1,"e":10,"f":1,"d":10}') |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                     1 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('{"a":1,"b":10,"d":10}', '{"a":5,"e":10,"f":1,"d":20}');
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('{"a":1,"b":10,"d":10}', '{"a":5,"e":10,"f":1,"d":20}') |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                                     0 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Example 4

When comparing two arrays, JSON_OVERLAPS() returns true if they share one or more array elements in common, and false if they do not:

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('5', '5');
+-------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('5', '5') |
+-------------------------+
|                       1 |
+-------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('5', '6');
+-------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('5', '6') |
+-------------------------+
|                       0 |
+-------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Example 5

Partial matches are treated as no match, as shown here:

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,6,7]', '6');
+---------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,6,7]', '6') |
+---------------------------------+
|                               1 |
+---------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Example 6

When comparing objects, the result is true if they have at least one key-value pair in common.

MYSQL

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,"6",7]', '6');
+-----------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,"6",7]', '6') |
+-----------------------------------+
|                                 0 |
+-----------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

SELECT JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,6,7]', '"6"');
+-----------------------------------+
| JSON_OVERLAPS('[4,5,6,7]', '"6"') |
+-----------------------------------+
|                                 0 |
+-----------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
