JSON takes the Database

JSON takes the Database

As a lightweight data transfer format, JSON is increasingly popular. If fact it is the de facto standard for document exchange. Sending and receiving JSON documents from and to your database is becoming more and more common. Knowing what the Oracle database has to offer in terms of storage, querying JSON in SQL, processing in PL/SQL needs to be in the toolkit of every Oracle database developer.

This session focusses on the most important features that the Oracle database has to offer in the JSON arena.

The title references the horror movie: Jason takes Manhattan, but I assure you this session is far from scary.
