Hi Roberto,

Never mind latin1. What about BINARY, one of the datatypes explicitly
supported by dynamic columns?

If you put a BINARY string into a dynamic column, what should COLUMN_JSON
do?

All other JSON encoders I know error on data that cannot be encoded as JSON.
But Maria instead returns non-JSON.

Tom

one "problem" about JSON, it only accept Unicode, be carefull when using
latin1 + utf8 + json

JSON text is a sequence of Unicode code points that strictly conforms to the
