title: Can you generically convert a row in to json in MySql?
body: <p>I want to switch from DynamoDB to AWS Aurora MySql, but I have a roadblock. I have a trigger on some of my Dynamo tables that will fire a lambda function. I need that same functionality in Aurora, and it is provided by the mysql.lambda_async function. The first param is the lambda ARN and the second is the Json that will be sent to the lambda function.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to serialize the new or updated row without having to know all of the columns. It would be inconvenient to have to update the trigger every time we changed/added/removed a column. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to serialize a row in MySql without knowing the schema of the table they were selected from? </p>
  
  <p>If not I guess my next question is whether or not there is a way to iterate through the fields in a row so that i could create the function myself. If so I will just create a new SO question.</p>
