Oracle Component Release Notes
This page lists the main features added to the Oracle Component.
Feature Highlights
Version 2.2.2
Version 2.2.0
Addition of datatypes
Some new datatypes have been added, such as BINARY_DOUBLE, BINARY_FLOAT, CHARACTER, CHARACTER VARYING, CHAR VARYING, DECIMAL, DOUBLE PRECISION, NATIONAL CHAR, NATIONAL CHARACTER, NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING, NATIONAL CHAR VARYING, NCHAR VARYING, NUMERIC, UROWID
Most of them are aliases of existing datatypes.
Version 2.0.5
INTEGRATION Oracle Template
Two new parameters have been added to define Oracle hints to be added to generated select and update statements:
-
Target Update Hint
-
Target Select Hint
Temporary Objects Storage clause
In Oracle Metadata, two new attributes have been added in the "Temporary Objects" tab on a schema.
They allow to specify additional table storage clauses which will be added to the statements generated for temporary objects.
For Oracle, this allows to define for instance a custom tablespace to be used for the temporary objects.
The new attributes are the following:
-
Default Table Storage Clause
-
Default Index Storage Clause
Example of tablespace definition:
Change Data Capture (CDC)
Multiple improvements have been performed to homogenize the usage of Change Data Capture (CDC) in the various Components.
Parameters have been homogenized, so that all Templates should now have the same CDC Parameters, with the same support of features.
Multiple fixes have also been performed to correct CDC issues. Refer to the changelog for the exact list of changes.
Version 2.0.4
JDBC Drivers classes and URLs
| Prerequisites \ Stambia DI Designer 2020 (S20.2.0) or higher |
Stambia DI Designer 20.2.0 introduces an improvement which allows Components and Modules definition to provide themselves the proper JDBC drivers classes and URLs, for the connection wizard to automatically adapt depending on the Module selected.
This Component has therefore been updated to take into account this improvement and provide the necessary JDBC drivers classes and URLs information.
Version 2.0.2
Maximum VARCHAR2 size
From Oracle V12, the size of VARCHAR2 type fields is no longer limited to 4000 characters.
Define the Oracle Version on your Metadata, in the "database major version".
If this version is less than 12 or empty, the size remains limited to 4000.
If this version is greater than or equal to 12, the size is no longer limited (up to 32,767 characters maximum).
Version 2.0.1
Fix an issue with creation mask for VARCHAR2 and CHAR datatypes
Creation mask for VARCHAR2 and CHAR datatypes should use 'CHAR' as character type when no information is provided.
Now when loading data into Oracle from any source, if there is no character type information defined on the sources Metadata, the columns created using the creation will use "CHAR" as character type instead of specifying an empty value.
For instance: mycolumn VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) instead of mycolumn VARCHAR2(255)
This will make sure the same character type is used when no information is provided instead of relying on the database default value which may vary between databases configuration and which can cause issues.
