The Oracle CDC Source Premium Connector v1.3.0 now supports Oracle 19c, allowing customers to leverage the connector's capabilities in their production environments. The connector uses LogMiner to read redo logs from Oracle Database and has overcome challenges related to handling DDL statements and schema changes. Users can configure the connector by setting the "oracle.dictionary.mode" parameter and follow specific steps for addressing DDL changes. A CDC pipeline can be created between Oracle Database and Azure Synapse Analytics using the self-managed Oracle CDC Source Connector and fully managed Azure Synapse Analytics Sink Connector, enabling customers to capture raw Oracle events and write them to table-specific topics in Confluent Cloud. The connector also supports various destinations like Snowflake, MongoDB Atlas, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift.
