In MariaDB, JSON_COMPACT() is a built-in function that removes all unnecessary spaces from a JSON document, so that it’s as short and compact as possible, and returns the result.
This can be handy for when you need to store JSON data in a database column, and you don’t want the JSON documents to use up any more space than is necessary.
For the opposite effect (i.e. to prettify a JSON document by adding indents and spreading it over multiple lines), use the JSON_DETAILED() function.
In MariaDB, JSON_CONTAINS_PATH() is a built-in function that indicates whether a given JSON document contains data at the specified path or paths.

In MariaDB, JSON_CONTAINS() is a built-in function that allows you to find out whether a specified value is found in the given JSON document, or at a specific path within the document.
It returns 1 if it does contain the value, 0 if it doesn’t, and NULL if any of the arguments are NULL.
In MariaDB, JSON_OBJECTAGG() is a built-in function that returns a JSON object containing key-value pairs, based on its two arguments.
In MariaDB, JSON_ARRAY_APPEND() is a built-in function that appends values to the end of the specified array/s within a JSON document, and returns the result.
In MariaDB, JSON_OBJECT() is a built-in function that returns a JSON object containing the key/value pairs provided as arguments.
In MariaDB, JSON_ARRAYAGG() is a built-in function that returns a JSON array containing an element for each value in a given set of JSON or SQL values.
The function acts on a column or an expression that evaluates to a single value. It enables you to aggregate a result set as a single JSON array. Each row of the result set ends up as a single element in the array.
In MariaDB, JSON_ARRAY() is a built-in function that returns a JSON array containing the specified values, provided as arguments.
In MariaDB, CURRENT_ROLE() is a built-in function that returns the current role name. The current role determines your access privileges.

In MariaDB, ROW_COUNT() is a built-in function that returns the number of rows updated, inserted or deleted by the preceding statement.
The value returned by ROW_COUNT() is the same as the row count that the mysql client displays and the value from the mysql_affected_rows() C API function.
