In this post, we take a look at How to Import JSON Data into MySQL Database. Previously I covered the Postman API and also covering some random videos out of my MySQL series of the videos. So now we are going to take a look at videos which would show you how to import data of various file formats into the MySQL database.
Here are some of the options that you can use to import & export data into the MySQL database.
- Import JSON data using the MySQL Shell
- Import JSON data using the MySQL Workbench
Here in the below video I am going to show you how to import the JSON data into the MySQL database using the MySQL Workbench.
Let's take a look at the option to use the MySQL shell for importing the data in JSON format to get into the MySQL database.
mysql-js> util.importJson("/example.json")
Now you can take a look at the output in the code format that looks like the image.

As you can see if you use this within your directory with the filename that you wish to import that should work out in your case. I have just made simple example but it should work there if done the right way.
Now the second method is using the Import wizard in the MySQL workbench. That would get the data inside the process lot easier. For that you can make use of the wizard as shown in the images here. You would be able to do things much easier way and also it would get the data quickly into the MySQL database.
You can check the above video in this case for the tutorial. You can see how the JSON data can be imported easily with this method. So for that reason I shared the video above. And also you can use this method for the online impot of the data like say you have cloud server where you can use the workbench to add the data too.
I hope that this tutorial helps and also make sure to share, like and subscribe to the content. I know there are not many views because many videos are kind of ignored in all the click bait and other content being taking the preference lately. But hopefully I can make sure to put on some content and it would bring some value over the period of time.
I'll see you later in next week and hopefully you would find the value in the tutorial.
