Oracle (Query and Table)
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 review the parameters that can be found in the info tab below (Image 1).

---|---|---|
Title | Mandatory. Input a name for your data sync | Oracle Sync |
Version | Mandatory. This is a pre-populated field containing a version number for your data sync. You can override it if you wish. | 1.0.0 |

The Schema section is where you define which source columns you want to sync in your connection. You can repeat the values for multiple columns.
