Hi! Question around

tap-oracle

usage. Is this still the recommended go to? I see it was updated in august, but its dependency on a pipeline wise fork is from March. Is this generally pretty normal for metano taps? I’m looking for some basic replication from oracle and hoping that meltano fits the bill here, but a bit concerned thinking of a production pipeline relying on stale packages.

Hi @cody_scott, The pipelinewise variant of tap-oracle has not had a lot of love in a long time. It was a point-in-time fork from the singer oracle tap. PR's raised against it were not being implemented. The s7clarke10 variant has brought together a lot of PR and forks enhancements into a single place. It supports the use of service name which has been common for a long. The most recent commits support either the legacy cx_Oracle library and the new oracledb library (which allows a thin client-less) connectivity to Oracle databases.
