Oracle Snap Pack

On this Page

Overview

Use the Oracle Snap Pack to connect to your Oracle database and achieve read and write access to its objects. 

Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:

  • Get a list of tables in a database.
  • Lookup records in the target table and returns a selected set of fields.
  • Fetch data from a database.
  • Execute SQL statements to delete, update, merge or insert data within a specified table.
  • Execute a stored procedure.


JDBC Driver Upgrade

The Oracle JDBC Driver is upgraded from OJDBC6 JAR (v11.2.0.4) to OJDBC10 JAR (v19.20.0.0) in the latest distribution in October 2023 and deployed to the stable distribution in the November 2023 release (after the Snaplex upgrade). The latest JDBC driver upgrade is backward-compatible. Learn more: Oracle JDBC Driver Upgrade from v11.2.0.4 to v19.20.0.0 and JOOQ Upgrade from v3.9.1 to 3.17.x.

You can consume this driver upgrade with the 434patches23000 Snap Pack version.

Behavior Change

This JDBC driver upgrade has resulted in specific behavior changes that include errors, status codes, and success and failure messages. Learn more about the behavior changes to ensure your migration to the upgraded driver is seamless. 


Supported Versions

  • This Snap Pack is tested against Oracle version 19c.
  • This driver supports versions 11i, 12c, and 19c. Other versions may work, but that will be down to the compatibility of the Oracle JDBC driver.

  • Updated the Oracle - Stored Procedure Snap with the Pass through field. 
  • Resolved an issue in Oracle - Stored Procedure Snap that caused invalid column type failures.
  • Oracle - Bulk Load updated to handle dates the same way as Oracle - Insert. Acceptable format for timestamp strings:
    • Prior to 4.7, the only acceptable timestamp format was  "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS", such as 2016-11-07 10:55:12

    • It now also supports:

      • ISO8601 formats (plus fractional seconds) without timezone.

             "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSS", (ex: 2016-11-07T10:55:12)
             "yyyymmddThhmmss.SSS", (ex: 20161107T105512)

      • ISO8601 formats with time zone. ONLY 'zulu' and 'UTC' at this time. Note that there is no space before the 'Z' but is a space before the 'UTC'.

             "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSZ"
             "yyyymmddThhmmss.SSSZ"

             "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.SSS UTC"
             "yyyymmddThhmmss.SSS UTC"

             ex: 2016-11-07T10:55:12Z
             ex: 20161107T105512Z
