Oracle

Before you begin

Before you begin, gather this connection information:

Name of the server that hosts the database you want to connect to and the Oracle service name and port
User name and password
Are you connecting to an SSL server? You must configure the Oracle client before you can use SSL

Connect and set up the workspace

Launch Syntho and select Connect to a database, or under Create workspace, select Oracle. For a complete list of data connections, select More under From database. Then do the following:

Enter the server name.
- Note: To find the correct service name, open the tnsnames.ora file (in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory by default) and search for the net_service_name section. Use the value listed for service_name.
Enter the database name to connect to the contained database.
Enter the port number.
Enter user name and password.
Select the Require SSL check box when connecting to an SSL server.
Select Create Workspace. If Syntho can't make the connection, verify that your credentials are correct. If you still can't connect, your computer is having trouble locating the server. Contact your network administrator or database administrator.

Limitations

There is a possibility for some Oracle DB system schemas to appear after creating workspace. This shouldn't happen if database permissions and schemas are set properly, but if it does happen then user should manually exclude schemas from synthetization. See below the list of schema that are excluded by default.

Supported data types

The following table provides a summary of the current support and limitations for various data types when using connectors with Oracle. It indicates what's supported per generator type, and if any additional processing is performed by Syntho to successfully generate and write the data.
