Data Con LA 2020 Description MySQL is an ubiquitous relational database that can also be used as a NoSQL JSON document store. That means you do not need a DBA to set up tables - just connect and start saving data. And you can access the NoSQL data from the SQL side or the SQL data from the NoSQL side which gives you the best of both the SQL and NoSQL worlds on the same server. *Learn how to use the X DevAPI protocol for CRUD based operations *See how to use JSON_TABLE() to turn unstructured data temporarily structured *Understand how JSON really makes your relational database faster *How to extract JSON data into a relational column Speaker Dave Stokes,Oracle, MySQL Community Manager

7. Relational Databases
● Original Goal was to save data with minimal duplication
● Disks were expensive
● … and slow
● 45 years old
● Introduced the concept of accessing many records with a single command
7

8. Relational Databases
● Data Integrity
○ Normalization
○ constraints (foreign keys, ...)
● Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability
○ ACID compliant
○ transactions
● SQL
○ powerful query language 8

9. Relational Databases
● Need to set up tables BEFORE use
● Relations, indexes, data normalization, query optimizations
● Hard to change on the fly
● Need a DBA or someone who has DBA skills
● This can be a chokepoint

10. NoSQL or Document Store
10

11. NoSQL or Document Store
● Schemaless
○ No schema design, no normalization, no foreign keys, no data types, …
○ Very quick initial development
● Flexible data structure
○ Embedded arrays or objects
○ Valid solution when natural data can not be modeled optimally into a
relational model
○ Objects persistence without the use of any ORM - *mapping
object-oriented*
11

12. NoSQL or JSON Document Store
● JSON
● close to frontend
● native in JS
● easy to learn

New Shell

31. Starting using MySQL in few minutes 31

32. Quickly add a document 32

33. Find that document 33

34. Fast modifications 34

35. Shell info 35

36. For this example, I will use the well known restaurants collection:
We need to dump the data to a file and
we will use the MySQL Shell
with the Python interpreter to load the data.
Migration from MongoDB to MySQL Document Store
36

37. Dump and load using MySQL Shell & Python
This example is inspired by @datacharmer's work: https://www.slideshare.net/datacharmer/mysql-documentstore
$ mongo quiet eval 'DBQuery.shellBatchSize=30000;
db.restaurants.find().shellPrint()'
| perl -pe 's/(?:ObjectId|ISODate)(("[^"]+"))/ $1/g' > all_recs.json
37

38. Or use new bulk loader in 8.0.13
38Parallel import introduced in 8.0.17

39. BSON Support
Now, it supports the conversion of the following additional BSON types:
■ Date
■ Timestamp
■ NumberDecimal
■ NumberLong
■ NumberInt
■ Regular Expression
■ Binary
39
> util.importJson("/path_to_file/neighborhoods_mongo.json",
{schema: "test", collection: "neighborhoods",
convertBsonTypes: true});

Let’s query
Too many records to show here … let’s limit it!
restaurants.find().limit(1)

More Examples!
restaurants.find().fields([“name”,”cuisine”]).limit(2)

43. 43
Comparing Syntax: MongoDB vs MYSQL
MongoDB:
> db.restaurants.find({"cuisine": "French",
"borough": { $not: /^Manhattan/} },
{"_id":0, "name": 1,"cuisine": 1, "borough": 1}).limit(2)
MySQL:
>restaurants.find(“cuisine=’French’ AND
borough!=’Manhattan’”).fields([“name”,”cuisine”,”borough”
]).limit(2)

MySQL Document Store Objects Summary

50. MySQL Document Store is Fully ACID Compliant 50

51. MySQL Document Store is Fully ACID Compliant 51

52. How Does It Work?? 52

53. What does a collection look like on the server ? 53

54. Every document has a unique identifier called the document ID, which can be
thought of as the equivalent of a table's primary key. The document ID value can
be manually assigned when adding a document.
If no value is assigned, a document ID is generated and assigned to the
document automatically !
Use getDocumentId() or getDocumentIds() to get _ids(s)
_id
54

55. Mapping to SQL Examples
createCollection('mycollection')
versus
CREATE TABLE `test`.`mycoll` (
doc JSON,
_id VARCHAR(32)
GENERATED ALWAYS AS (doc->>'$._id') STORED
PRIMARY KEY
) CHARSET utf8mb4;
55

56. Mapping to SQL Examples
mycollection.add({‘test’: 1234})
versus
INSERT INTO `test`.`mycoll` (doc)
VALUES ( JSON_OBJECT( 'test',1234));
56

57. More Mapping to SQL Examples
mycollection.find("test > 100")
Versus
SELECT doc
FROM `test`.`mycoll`
WHERE (JSON_EXTRACT(doc,'$.test') >100);
57

SQL and JSON Example

59. It's also possible to create indexes without using SQL syntax 59

60. SQL and JSON Example (3): explain 60

61. SQL and JSON Example (3): explain 61

62. SQL and JSON Example (4): add index 62

63. SQL and JSON Example (4): add index 63

64. [
{
"date": {
"$date": 1416009600000
},
"grade": "Z",
"score": 38
},
{
"date": {
"$date": 1398988800000
},
"grade": "A",
"score": 10
},
{
"date": {
"$date": 1362182400000
},
"grade": "A",
"score": 7
},
{
"date": {
"$date": 1328832000000
},
"grade": "A",
"score": 13
}
]
64
Embedded
Arrays of
values can be
messy to
traverse.

65. SQL and JSON Example (5): arrays 65

66. $.grades[0]
$.grades[1 to 2]
$.grades[first]
$.grades[last]
$.grades[first to last - 1]
66
Arrays are now simple

67. NoSQL as SQL 67
JSON_TABLE turns your un-structured
JSON data into a temporary structured
table!

68. NoSQL as SQL 68
This temporary structured table can
be treated like any other table --
LIMIT, WHERE, GROUP BY ...

69. 69
More Sophisticated Analysis

70. Find the top 10 restaurants by grade for each cuisine 70
WITH cte1 AS
(SELECT doc->>"$.name" AS name,
doc->>"$.cuisine" AS cuisine,
(SELECT AVG(score) FROM
JSON_TABLE(doc, "$.grades[*]" COLUMNS
(score INT PATH "$.score")) AS r) AS avg_score
FROM restaurants)
SELECT *, RANK() OVER
(PARTITION BY cuisine ORDER BY avg_score DESC) AS `rank`
FROM cte1
ORDER BY `rank`, avg_score DESC LIMIT 10;
This query uses a Common Table Expression (CTE) and a Windowing Function to rank the
average scores of each restaurant, by each cuisine assembled in a JSON_TABLE

71. No SQL Consumed In This Query!! 71
$schema = $session->getSchema("world");
$table = $schema->getTable("city");
$row = $table->select('Name','District')
->where('District like :district')
->bind(['district' => 'Texas'])
->limit(25)
->execute()->fetchAll();

72. JSON Validation
72

73. JSON Validation
The Problem
Unlike strictly types relational databases there is no data normalization or ‘rigor’
applied to that data.
There is also no native way to do range checks
And there is no way have required fields
73

74. JSON-Schema.org
The Problem
Unlike strictly types relational databases there is no data normalization or ‘rigor’
applied to that data.
There is also no native way to do range checks
And there is no way have required fields
JSON-Shema.org is work to fix that
74

75. JSON Validation
set @s='{"type": "object",
"properties": {
"myage": {
"type" : "number",
"minimum": 28,
"maximum": 99
}
}
}';
set @d='{ "myage": 33}';
select
JSON_SCHEMA_VALID(@s,@d);
+--------------------------+
| JSON_SCHEMA_VALID(@s,@d) |
+--------------------------+
| 1 |
+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
75

76. JSON Validation Report
select JSON_PRETTY(JSON_SCHEMA_VALIDATION_REPORT(@s,@d))G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
JSON_PRETTY(JSON_SCHEMA_VALIDATION_REPORT(@s,@d)): {
"valid": false,
"reason": "The JSON document location '#/myage' failed requirement 'minimum' at
JSON Schema location '#/properties/myage'",
"schema-location": "#/properties/myage",
"document-location": "#/myage",
"schema-failed-keyword": "minimum"
}
76

77. JSON Check Constraint
CREATE TABLE `testx` (
`col` JSON,
CONSTRAINT `myage_inRange`
CHECK (JSON_SCHEMA_VALID('{"type": "object",
"properties": {
"myage": {
"type" : "number",
"minimum": 28,
"maximum": 99
}
},"required": ["myage"]
}',
`col`) = 1)
);
77

78. JSON Check Constraint
mysql> insert into testx values('{"myage":27}');
ERROR 3819 (HY000): Check constraint 'myage_inRange' is violated.
mysql> insert into testx values('{"myage":97}');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)
78

79. Multi Value Indexes
79

80. Index JSON Arrays
{ "user":"Bob", "user_id":31, "zipcode":[94477,94536] }
CREATE TABLE customers
( id BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
modified DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
custinfo JSON,
INDEX zips( (CAST(custinfo->'$.zip' AS UNSIGNED ARRAY)) )
);
Mutli Value Indexes allow you to go past the 1:1 relation to index the data in JSON
arrays. And there are three special functions what can make use of MVIs when
used on the right side of a WHERE clause -- MEMBER OF(), JSON_CONTAINS(),
and JSON_OVERLAPS()
80

81. Conclusion: What Do I Gain?
81

82. This is the best of the two worlds in one product !
● Data integrity
● ACID Compliant
● Transactions
● SQL
● Schemaless
● flexible data structure
● easy to start (CRUD)
82

83. Mutable Data!!
Reduce Many to many joins
Replace ‘stub’ tables
Change on the fly, aggregate new data
83

84. Non JSON Data Transforms to JSON
84

85. GeoJSON support too!
mysql> SELECT
ST_AsGeoJSON(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(11.11111 12.22222)'),2);
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| ST_AsGeoJSON(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(11.11111 12.22222)'),2) |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [11.11, 12.22]} |
+-------------------------------------------------------------+
