JSON_ARRAY Using Subqueries

From Oracle database 23c onward the JSON_ARRAY function can accept a subquery as input, which brings it in line with the current SQL/JSON standard.

In Oracle 23c we can use SQL*Loader to load JSON data into a Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) collection.

In Oracle database 23c the JSON_QUERY and JSON_VALUE functions can include multiple predicates in a single JSON path expression, and use the PASSING clause to support variables.
