Oracle Database 2-7

2.4 Setting Up an Integration Project

Setting up a project using the Oracle Database follows the standard procedure. See Creating an Integration Project of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator. It is recommended to import the following knowledge modules into your project for getting started with Oracle Database: ■ RKM Oracle ■ CKM Oracle ■ LKM SQL to Oracle ■ LKM File to Oracle SQLLDR ■ LKM File to Oracle EXTERNAL TABLE ■ IKM Oracle Incremental Update

2.5 Creating and Reverse-Engineering an Oracle Model

This section contains the following topics: ■ Create an Oracle Model ■ Reverse-engineer an Oracle Model

2.5.1 Create an Oracle Model

Create an Oracle Model using the standard procedure, as described in Creating a Model of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator.

2.5.2 Reverse-engineer an Oracle Model

Oracle supports both Standard reverse-engineering - which uses only the abilities of the JDBC driver - and Customized reverse-engineering, which uses a RKM to retrieve the structure of the objects directly from the Oracle dictionary. In most of the cases, consider using the standard JDBC reverse engineering for starting. Standard reverse-engineering with Oracle retrieves tables, views, columns, primary keys, and references. Consider switching to customized reverse-engineering for retrieving more metadata. Oracle customized reverse-engineering retrieves the table and view structures, including columns, primary keys, alternate keys, indexes, check constraints, synonyms, and references. Standard Reverse-Engineering To perform a Standard Reverse-Engineering on Oracle use the usual procedure, as described in Reverse-engineering a Model of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator. Customized Reverse-Engineering To perform a Customized Reverse-Engineering on Oracle with a RKM, use the usual procedure, as described in Reverse-engineering a Model of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator. This section details only the fields specific to the Oracle technology:
