In Oracle 21c and the Autonomous JSON Database, we introduced a new Native JSON Datatype with it's own Binary Storage format called OSON[1]. With OSON, you can perform partial updates on a json document. The added benefit is that this results in significantly lesser redo log size.

Are there any (independent) benchmarks for how the performance of this compares to other database management systems?
The benchmark should really compare Oracle to PostgreSQL with however much extra RAM the cost of an Oracle license would buy.
I think standard Oracle license prohibite benchmarking.
This sounds like a fantastic reason among many to actively resist ever using their software.
