To store a JSON array in Oracle, you can use the JSON data type introduced in Oracle Database 21c. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Define a column with the JSON data type in your table:
1
2
3
4
CREATE TABLE my_table (
    id NUMBER,
    json_data JSON
);


  1. Insert a JSON array into the column:
1
INSERT INTO my_table (id, json_data) VALUES (1, '[{"name": "John", "age": 30}, {"name": "Jane", "age": 25}]');


  1. Query the JSON array:
1
SELECT id, json_data FROM my_table;


You can also use the JSON_OBJECT function in Oracle to create JSON objects and arrays dynamically from SQL queries. This function allows you to construct complex JSON data structures within SQL statements.
