UPDATE: Here's a Pastebin of the JSON code. If anyone could please tell me why MySQL refuses to read this as a TEXT variable and how to get around it, I would appreciate it: https://pastebin.com/ju8xPPsV
SO I've got a strange one here. Running 8.0.18 on Windows. My environment is all utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci.
The issue is MySQL refuses to read the attached JSON text into a TEXT field, regardless of what CHARACTER SET is defined, always presenting the following error when trying to set the TEXT variable to the code:
ERROR 1366 (HY000): Incorrect string value: '\x96 2019...' for column 'json_text' at row 1
Obviously there's a character in the text MySQL doesn't like, but what character, where, and how do I 'scrub' this text so it will be accepted?
This happens on the line that tries to assign the JSON to a Text value:
set json_text= JSON_EXTRACT((injason), CONCAT('$.', 'in_JSON'));
Here's the complete code:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `sp_jason`;
DELIMITER //
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost`
PROCEDURE `sp_jason`(
IN parameterName VARCHAR(10)
)
COMMENT 'schema_version_applied_to: v1.0.0'
master_block:BEGIN
DECLARE json_text text CHARACTER SET latin1;
DECLARE injason JSON;
DECLARE exit handler for SQLEXCEPTION, SQLWARNING, NOT FOUND
BEGIN
GET DIAGNOSTICS CONDITION 1 @sqlstate = RETURNED_SQLSTATE,
@errno = MYSQL_ERRNO, @text = MESSAGE_TEXT;
SET @full_error = CONCAT("ERROR ", @errno, " (", @sqlstate, "): ", @text);
SELECT @full_error;
END;
