JSON data in the Oracle database
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:11 am
Despite the discussion about NoSQL and Big Data alternatives to classic relational database systems, the "All your Data" principle still applies in the Oracle database, especially for database version 12.2. Particularly interesting is the compact and easy-to-read JSON format, which is increasingly being used in data exchange.
But what exactly are the advantages of storing data in the Oracle database? The short answer is: you get a wide range of applications thanks to the functions and operators provided and high performance thanks to the use of standard tools such as indexes or belize telegram screening parallelization. Prefabricated structures such as special indexes, operators and functions not only facilitate the efficient and fast extraction of information from a JSON document, but also search queries in JSON data. Especially in combination with querying relational master data, there is no alternative to storing JSON data within the database.
No additional software installation is required. Starting with database version 12.1 (more precisely 12.1.0.2), JSON support is available in all cloud and software installations of the database. Interesting extensions have been introduced with database version 12.2.
