FAQPage Schema
How do I stream Oracle CDC changes to Redpanda or Kafka?

Stream Oracle CDC changes to Redpanda or Kafka by configuring the oracledb_cdc input with your Oracle DSN, enabling ARCHIVELOG mode and supplemental logging, then starting the pipeline to capture real-time data modifications.

Does Oracle CDC with LogMiner require supplemental logging to be enabled?

Yes, Oracle CDC with LogMiner requires minimal supplemental logging to be enabled on the database alongside ARCHIVELOG mode, ensuring the transaction logs contain the necessary column data for comprehensive change data capture operations.

How does checkpointing work when capturing Oracle CDC changes using SCN windows?

Checkpointing tracks System Change Number windows during Oracle CDC capture, allowing the pipeline to save its exact position in the transaction log and resume streaming without data loss after interruptions or restarts.

Can I route captured Oracle CDC records to separate topics per table?

Yes, you can route captured Oracle CDC records to separate topics per table, enabling targeted downstream processing while also handling LOB data types and managing CDB and PDB monitoring configurations.

What enterprise features are available for securing Oracle CDC pipelines?

Enterprise features for securing Oracle CDC pipelines include wallet and SSL configurations, secrets management, server-side schema validation, Iceberg topics, and Tiered Storage to build robust and compliant data replication workflows.

Do I need ARCHIVELOG mode to capture real-time data replication from Oracle?

Yes, you need ARCHIVELOG mode enabled to capture real-time data replication from Oracle databases, as it preserves completed transaction logs required by LogMiner to extract continuous change events for downstream processing.
