Oracle

For context on getting started with ingestion, check out our metadata ingestion guide.

Setup

To install this plugin, run pip install 'acryl-datahub[oracle]'.

Capabilities

This plugin extracts the following:

Metadata for databases, schemas, and tables
Column types associated with each table
Table, row, and column statistics via optional SQL profiling

Using the Oracle source requires that you've also installed the correct drivers; see the cx_Oracle docs. The easiest one is the Oracle Instant Client.

Quickstart recipe

Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See below for full configuration options.

For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our main recipe guide.

source:
  type: oracle
  config:
    # Coordinates
    host_port: localhost:5432
    database: dbname

    # Credentials
    username: user
    password: pass

    # Options
    service_name: svc # omit database if using this option

sink:
  # sink configs

Config details

Note that a . is used to denote nested fields in the YAML recipe.

Exactly one of database or service_name is required.

As a SQL-based service, the Athena integration is also supported by our SQL profiler. See here for more details on configuration.
