Inconsistency of json fields character sets

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      In CREATE TABLE JSON fields default to utf8mb4, even if not specified, resulting in its overriding the charset of the table. However, the overriding does not happen in ALTER TABLE when the table charset is changed, resulting in the inconsistency shown below:

      CREATE TABLE t ( cj JSON ) CHARACTER SET utf8mb3 COLLATE utf8mb3_general_ci;
      		 
      select character_set_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 't' and column_name='cj';
      		 
      character_set_name
      		 
      utf8mb4
      		 
      alter table t CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb3 COLLATE utf8mb3_general_ci;
      		 
      select character_set_name from information_schema.columns where table_name = 't' and column_name='cj';
      		 
      character_set_name
      		 
      utf8mb3
