    Description

      Follow up of MDEV-27899.

      With reference to the sample reproducer provided there, the SELECT query works, but when the query is used to create a view, then the view has the same issue originally reported.

      So, having created and populated:

      create table SyncopeUser (plainAttrs JSON);
      insert into SyncopeUser values (
      '[
        {
          "values": [
            {
              "stringValue": "Rossini"
            }
          ],
          "schema": "surname"
        },
        {
          "values": [
            {
              "dateValue": 1243288800000
            },
            {
              "dateValue": 1274824800000
            }
          ],
          "schema": "loginDate"
        },
        {
          "uniqueValue": {
            "stringValue": "Gioacchino Rossini"
          },
          "schema": "fullname"
        },
        {
          "uniqueValue": {
            "stringValue": "rossini@apache.org"
          },
          "schema": "userId"
        }
      ]');
      

      then the following query works as expected, e.g. attrUniqueValue is non-null for some rows:

      SELECT attrs.*
        FROM SyncopeUser u, JSON_TABLE(plainAttrs, '$[*]' COLUMNS (
        plainSchema VARCHAR(255) PATH '$.schema',
        attrUniqueValue JSON PATH '$.uniqueValue' ERROR ON ERROR)
        ) AS attrs;
      

      e.g.

      plainSchema attrUniqueValue
      surname [NULL]
      loginDate [NULL]
      fullname {"stringValue": "Gioacchino Rossini" }
      userId {"stringValue": "rossini@apache.org"}

      So far, so good.

      If we create a view as follows, instead:

      CREATE VIEW user_search AS SELECT attrs.*
        FROM SyncopeUser u, JSON_TABLE(plainAttrs, '$[*]' COLUMNS (
        plainSchema VARCHAR(255) PATH '$.schema',
        attrUniqueValue JSON PATH '$.uniqueValue' ERROR ON ERROR)
        ) AS attrs;
      

      all seems to be fine, but any query like

      SELECT * from user_search
      

      will return the error

       [4178] [HY000]: Can't store an array or an object in the scalar column 'attrUniqueValue' of JSON_TABLE 'attrs'.
