RDBMS has been the foundation of data transaction management for multiple decades. Over the recent years, data has changed from the traditional forms, and we are dealing with JSON data types more and more. All applications are written to ingest JSON documents. Mongo ,the NOSQL Database, is good at handling JSON documents and has carved a space for itself in the data space. How does Oracle handle JSON? Since Oracle introduced JSON in version 12, it has come a long way. It is stored and handled expertly by Oracle and with the newer versions, there are more features that are available, some that even show up MongoDB. JSON data and XML data can be used in Oracle Database in similar ways as it is used in MongoDB. Unlike relational data, both can be stored, indexed, and queried without any need for a schema that defines the data. The presentation will go over how JSON is handled by Oracle and compare it with MongoDB. Specific use cases will be explored to show the best features of both and compare them to gain an understanding of the best options available for handling JSON documents in Oracle.
So who does JSON better? Oracle or MongoDB?
