Oracle 21c JSON datatype
Posted: Mon 13 Sep 2021 17:53
Hello,
In this post viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44289 I mentioned that a customer was receiving an error with the JSON datatype under 21c. To give an update on that, I have just downloaded 21c from Oracle and I don't get any error. So maybe the problem was only with 20c.
However, in 21c, with ODAC, when looking at the TFieldDesc for a JSON column, it looks exactly like a BLOB column. Am I missing anything? If not, can you make a new SubDataType value for JSON columns? I need to be able to distinguish JSON from ordinary BLOB datatypes.
Thank you
John Dorlon
