Oracle Database
Oracle is a relational database management system developed by Oracle Corporation.
You can read from Oracle as follows, and write to any target supported by Striim. Typically, you will set up data pipelines that read from Oracle in two phases—initial load, followed by continuous replication—as described in Building pipelines from Oracle Database. For a more detailed comparison of Oracle Reader and OJet, see Oracle Database continuous real-time replication using CDC.
