title: How can I use json column type in Rails MySQL app?
body: <p>Because of server requirements, I'm using MySQL 5.5 in my Rails app.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use json column type, similar to PostgreSQL, but when I run migration I'm getting error, that json is not supported.</p>
  
  <p>My migration:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def change
      add_column :profile_services, :price, :json
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can somebody suggest the best solution how to fix this issue?</p>
