Oracle Big Data SQL Online Documentation Library
Release 3.1

Welcome

Oracle Big Data SQL supports queries against non-relational data stored in multiple big data sources, including Apache Hive, HDFS, Oracle NoSQL Database, and Apache HBase. It enables unified query for distributed data and therefore the ability to view and analyze data from disparate data stores seamlessly, as if it were all stored in an Oracle database.

Oracle Big Data SQL supports the complete Oracle SQL syntax. You can execute highly complex SQL SELECT statements against data in the Hadoop ecosystem, either manually or through your existing applications. For example, if you are a user of Oracle Advanced Analytics, Oracle Big Data SQL enables you to extend your Oracle Database data mining models to big data in Hadoop.
