JSON_MERGE returns a non-NULL result with a NULL argument

Details

    Description

      Note: Since we don't have any documented differences between our implementation of JSON functions and Oracle's, here and further I will assume they are supposed to be result-compatible.

      MariaDB 10.2

      MariaDB [test]> select JSON_MERGE(NULL,JSON_OBJECT('foo', 1));
      +----------------------------------------+
      | JSON_MERGE(NULL,JSON_OBJECT('foo', 1)) |
      +----------------------------------------+
      | [null, {"foo": 1}]                     |
      +----------------------------------------+
      1 row in set (0.00 sec)
      

      MySQL 5.7

      MySQL [test]> select JSON_MERGE(NULL,JSON_OBJECT('foo', 1));
      +----------------------------------------+
      | JSON_MERGE(NULL,JSON_OBJECT('foo', 1)) |
      +----------------------------------------+
      | NULL                                   |
      +----------------------------------------+
      1 row in set (0.00 sec)
      

      It is also documented in MySQL manual:
      https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json-modification-functions.html#function_json-merge

      Returns NULL if any argument is NULL
