9 Replication of JSON Data

You can use Oracle GoldenGate to replicate tables that have columns containing JSON data.

In particular, you can replicate textual JSON data (VARCHAR2, CLOB, or BLOB) in the primary server to JSON type data in the secondary. You can also replicate textual data to textual data or JSON type data to JSON type data.

Be aware that Oracle GoldenGate requires tables that are to be replicated to have a nonvirtual primary key column; the primary key column cannot be virtual.

All indexes on the JSON data will be replicated also. However, on the replica database, you must carry out any Oracle Text operations that you use to maintain a JSON search index. Here are examples of such procedures:

• CTX_DDL.sync_index

• CTX_DDL.optimize_index
