Which operation is NOT permitted on tables containing VECTOR columns?

ASELECT

BUPDATE

CDELETE

DJOIN ON VECTOR columns

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In Oracle 23ai, tables with VECTOR columns support standard DML operations: SELECT (A) retrieves data, UPDATE (B) modifies rows, and DELETE (C) removes rows. However, JOIN ON VECTOR columns (D) is not permitted because VECTOR isn't a relational type for equality comparison; it's for similarity search (e.g., via VECTOR_DISTANCE). Joins must use non-VECTOR columns. Oracle's SQL reference restricts VECTOR to specific operations, excluding direct joins.

Ooh, JOIN ON VECTOR columns, that's a good one. Gotta be careful with those pesky vector columns, am I right?

I'm not sure about this, but I think A) SELECT is also not permitted on tables containing VECTOR columns.

I agree with Rosalia, because JOIN operation is not permitted on tables containing VECTOR columns.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's not A) SELECT, that seems like a pretty basic operation. But D) JOIN ON VECTOR columns, that sounds like it could be tricky!
