Oracle Sharding distributes segments of a data set across many databases (shards) on different computers, on-premises or in cloud. It enables globally distributed, linearly scalable, multimodel databases. It requires no specialized hardware or software. Oracle Sharding does all this while rendering the strong consistency, full power of SQL, support for structured and unstructured data, and the Oracle Database ecosystem. It meets data sovereignty requirements and support applications that require low latency and high availability.
Explore Oracle Sharding in LiveLabs and learn how to design, code and administer hyperscale applications, which store petabytes of data and require sub-second response time. Learn multiple capabilities, like the Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) API + Text Search for JSON, joins, transactions, and ACID properties for relational queries, fuzzy match, type ahead, free-form text search, and sentiment analysis for text.
With Oracle Sharding converged architecture, you can use a single data system that drastically reduces complexity, decreases cost, and allows you to simplify your data architecture by consolidating logic and data into a single data store that meets a diverse set of needs with Linear scalability, extreme availability, Geographic distribution.
