Closing the functional and Performance Gap between SQL and NoSQL

Summary: Enhances Oracle JSON in 12cR2 with Flexible Schema Data Management, via auto-computed JSON DataGuide soft schema. Introduces OSON, a query-friendly binary JSON encoding narrowing the relational vs. schema-less gap, enabling mixed SQL/NoSQL in RDBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
