This chapter explains how to synchronize data from tables in a relational database with Oracle Internet Directory. The synchronization can be either incremental—for example, one database table row at a time—or all the database tables at once.Note...

We will learn what a relational database is, how it works, and why you might choose it over NoSQL alternatives.

Let’s return to our talent management database example. For the “Artists” table, the “Artist name” field is already a pretty good candidate for the primary field, as it’s pretty unlikely that your record label will sign two artists with the same name. We can also pick “Venue name...
For example, imagine your company maintains a database table with customer information, which contains company data at the account level. There may also be a different table, which describes all the individual transactions that align to that account. Together, these tables can provide information ab...
