Overview of this book

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is Oracle's strategic data integration platform for high-speed data transformation and movement between different systems. From high-volume, SOA-enabled data services, to trickle operations ñ ODI is a cutting-edge platform that offers heterogeneous connectivity, enterprise-level deployment, and strong administrative, diagnostic, and management capabilities. "Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial" provides you with everything you to get up and running with Oracle Data Integrator, and more! Following an example scenario, the book covers essential information about the ODI architecture and using ODI across different databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL), and file types such as XML, before covering Orchestrating Data Integration Workflows, Error Management, Operational Management and Monitoring, and beyond. "Getting Started with Oracle Data Integrator 11g: A Hands-On Tutorial" begins by describing the Oracle Data Integrator architecture and teaching you to install the product following best practices. You'll then be introduced to some of the key concepts of ODI such as the Knowledge Modules. Later topics include moving and transforming data from sources to targets including the Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Flat files, and XML files, each with illustrated hands-on examples for the different technologies. Your learning experience will be made all the more rich with chapters introducing, explaining and leveraging additional ODI functionality such as variables, reusable procedures, temporary indexes and more. Finally ODI's workflow and task orchestration capabilities are explained before introducing you to Error Management with ODI's built-in 'error hospital' and 'error recycling' capabilities for non-compliant data, not to mention tackling ODI Studio, ODI Console and Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

Chapter 7. Working with Microsoft SQL Server

So far, we have seen how ODI can simplify and expedite data integration challenges when using Oracle and MySQL databases. But what if your company has a site license for Microsoft SQL Server? Or what if the majority of your database administrators and data architects are from a SQL Server database background? Not to worry! ODI supports Microsoft SQL Server as a first class database technology.

As we have seen in the previous chapters, ODI is effective at abstracting away the nuances of a given database technology and virtually eliminating the hand coding of SQL as compared to a traditional ETL project approach. Using our Purchase Order example, we'll be covering the following topics in this chapter:

  • Provide a third (Oracle, MySQL, and now SQL Server) exposure of going through the process of working with ODI to create and test integration interfaces

  • Define a SQL Server Data Server using Topology Navigator

  • Introduce the Expression Editor and learn how...
