Abstract
Herein are fine grained updates to pieces of JavaScript object notation (JSON) documents by database statements that can update, delete, and insert parts of JSON documents. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request that specifies a modification of a JSON document that is stored in a compressed format in persistent storage. The modification adds additional content to the JSON document, and/or replaces an old value in the JSON document with a new value that is not a same size as the old value. The modification is recorded in a change log. The change log is eventually applied to the compressed format of the JSON document in the persistent storage without entirely rewriting the compressed format of the JSON document in the persistent storage.
