I've got a a table with rows, and one of the rows has a field with data like this
{"name":"Richard","lastname":null,"city":"Olavarria","cityId":null}
And i want to select all the distinct "city" values i've got. Only using mysql server.
Is it possible? I'm trying with something like this
SELECT id FROM table_name WHERE field_name REGEXP '"key_name":"([^"]*)key_word([^"]*)"';
But i can't make the regexp work
Thanks in advance

MySQL has got support for JSON in version 5.7.7
http://mysqlserverteam.com/json-labs-release-native-json-data-type-and-binary-format/
You will be able to use the jsn_extract function to efficiently parse your JSON string.
If you have an older version and you want to solve it purely in mysql then I am afraid you have to treat it as a string and cut the value out of it (just normal string functions or use regular expressions)
This is not elegant but it will work
SELECT
DISTINCT(substring(jsonfield, locate('"city":',jsonfield)+8,
locate('","', jsonfield, locate('"city":',jsonfield))-locate('"city":',jsonfield)-8)
)
FROM
