Fix the error in biblio3.json (add a "{" at the end just before the last "]"), and re-run, and now it works:

{code:sql}

mysql> drop table jsample;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)

mysql> create table jsample (

    -> ISBN char(15),

    -> LANG char(2),

    -> SUBJECT char(32),

    -> AUTHOR char(128),

    -> TITLE char(32),

    -> TRANSLATED char(80),

    -> PUBLISHER char(20),

    -> DATEPUB int(4))

    -> engine=CONNECT table_type=JSON

    -> File_name='biblio3.json';

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> select isbn, author, title, publisher from jsample;
