AI Vector Search: JDBC Support Completion for SPARSE Vectors with a Binary Format

An oracle.sql.VECTOR.SparseBooleanArray interface is added to represent SPARSE BINARY VECTOR data.

• Instances of SparseBooleanArray can be passed to setObject methods of PreparedStatement to create SPARSE BINARY VECTOR bind values.
• Instances of SparseBooleanArray can also be returned by getObject methods of ResultSet. This conversion is supported for all VECTOR dimension types, not just BINARY.

This feature brings productivity and performance to Java applications using VECTOR with a SPARSE BINARY format.
