About this Content

This document is intended to help you gain a deeper understanding of Oracle NoSQL Database operations through advanced examples. It also provides hands-on guidance for using SQL with the language SDKs to build applications with Oracle NoSQL Database. The guide begins with the essentials for connecting to Oracle NoSQL Database and introduces the schemas and sample data used throughout the examples. It then walks you through development workflows, from the initial setup required to run queries to performing data definition (DDL) and data manipulation (DML) operations.

Throughout the Developer’s guide, SQL operations are illustrated with examples in two ways:

1. SQL commands you can run directly in the SQL shell.

2. SDK-based API requests showing how to perform the same operations programmatically using language SDKs such as Java, Node.js, Python, .NET, and C#.

Audience

This book is intended for experienced software developers, solution architects, and practitioners who want to prototype, develop, and integrate applications with Oracle NoSQL Database.

For detailed SQL language reference including syntax, semantics, statement descriptions, and usage, see - SQL Reference Guide.

Diversity and Inclusion

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers’ existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle’s offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
