Had this error pop up https://github.com/transferwise/pipelinewise-tap-oracle/issues/7 , looks like a dependency issue on the oracle tap, but maybe there's a better tap out there?

03/22/2021, 7:14 PM@visch - Luckily there aren’t a ton of taps which require non-python dependencies. The big ones are the ones you’ve found: MSSQL, Oracle, and I think previously Postgres - although I believe Postgres can now install neatly and directly from pip. There may still be others around though that I’m not familiar with - and the issue Douwe posted above was created to address those.

psycopy2-binary Copy code
The binary packages come with their own versions of a few C libraries, among which libpq and libssl, which will be used regardless of other libraries available on the client: upgrading the system libraries will not upgrade the libraries used by psycopg2. Please build psycopg2 from source if you want to maintain binary upgradeability.
