RDS Query gets error when trying to read a MYSQL column of type JSON

I have an RDS Query component reading from AWS Aurora-MySQL. It works fine. However, when I include a column that is of data type JSON, I get the following error:

 

SQL compilation error: error line 0 at position 0

Invalid character length: -1. Must be between 1 and 16,777,216.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
