I've seen multiple people asking about queries on JSON columns that find (non-)empty arrays.
This PR brings
whereJsonLength()
to MySQL 5.7, PostgreSQL 9.3, SQLite 3.9.0 and SQL Server 2016:On MySQL and SQL Server, this can also be used to count the keys in JSON objects.
The MySQL implementation is already designed to work on MariaDB.
wrapJsonFieldAndPath()
returning an array instead of a string is also a preparation for bringing JSON support to MariaDB (commit for 5.7).As with the other JSON query features, there are no integration tests (#24330, #24672, #25328).
