I agree with this, most interesting is JSON_TABLE.

maximalconformance with ANSI SQL with a maximal set of features. On second hand it is hard to do review because this
patchis really complex, and a lot of functionality was not implemented elsewhere (so isn't possible to compare
results).I think it should be possible to reduce complexity and divide acceptance of json_table to some steps like
basicfunctionality (on MySQL level), enhanced functionality (on Oracle level), and full functionality (the Postgres
willbe first). This functionality is interesting and maximal conformity with SQL/JSON is great so I am for merging it.
Butif it will be divided into some chronological steps, then there can be higher probability of merging to upstream in
agood time.
I think it's shame to look up on MySQL and Oracle, since we have much
better and complete implementation of the Standard.
