Oracle Database is a relational database management system, commonly used for running online transaction processing, data warehousing and mixed database workloads. The system is built around a relational database framework in which data objects may be directly accessed by users (or an application front end) through structured query language (SQL).
The Oracle Query and Table sources support batch syncs.
You can find the parameters in the Info tab below (Image 1).
| Parameter | Description | Example |
