Change Data Capture for Oracle (Java + Python Implementation)




Java Approach

It is possible to capture CDC data from an Oracle database using Java.

You will need to use a JDBC driver for Oracle, such as the Oracle JDBC Driver, to connect to the database and execute SQL commands.

Here is an example of a Java program that captures CDC data from an Oracle database and prints it to the console:

import java.sql.*;

public class CDC {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {

        // Load the Oracle JDBC driver

        DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());

        // Connect to the Oracle database

        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:username/password@db_name");

        Statement statement = connection.createStatement();

        // Enable CDC on the target table

        statement.execute("ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12'");

        // Retrieve the CDC data

        ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM v$logmnr_contents");

        // Print the CDC data to the console

        while (resultSet.next()) {

            System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1) + " " + resultSet.getString(2));

        }

        // Disable CDC and close the connection

        statement.execute("ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT OFF'");

        connection.close();

    }

}

This Java program uses the JDBC API to connect to the Oracle database, execute SQL commands, and retrieve the CDC data.

It first establishes a connection to the database using the DriverManager.getConnection() method, and then creates a Statement object to execute SQL commands.

The program then enables CDC on the target table by running the ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS command. This command turns on an Oracle trace that captures changes to the specified table.

Next, the program retrieves the CDC data by querying the v$logmnr_contents view, which contains information about the changes that have been captured by the trace. The program then iterates through the result set and prints each row to the console.

Finally, the program disables CDC and closes the connection to the database.

You can use the AWS SDK for Java to send the CDC data to an SNS topic.

import software.amazon.awssdk.services.sns.SnsClient;

import software.amazon.awssdk.services.sns.model.PublishRequest;

public class CDC {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {

        //... CDC Data Capture Code

        // Send CDC data to SNS topic

        SnsClient snsClient = SnsClient.builder().build();

        PublishRequest request = PublishRequest.builder()

                .topicArn("arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:MyTopic")

                .message("CDC data")

                .build();

        snsClient.publish(request);

    }

}

You will need to replace the topicArn and message with the appropriate values for the topicArn and message with the appropriate values for your use case.

It's also worth noting that you can use other libraries such as Spring JDBC or Hibernate to interact with the Oracle database, they provide you a higher-level abstraction of JDBC and make it easier to handle database connections, statements, and results.

For example, if you are using the Spring JDBC, you can use the JdbcTemplate class to interact with the database, and it will automatically handle the creation and release of resources, such as connections and statements, reducing the amount of boilerplate code you need to write.

In summary, it is possible to capture CDC data from an Oracle database using Java and sending it to AWS SNS by using the AWS SDK for Java. You can use JDBC API or libraries like Spring JDBC or Hibernate to interact with the database. But you will need to handle the connection, error handling, and other additional things like storing the CDC data in a file or sending it to another services

When you enable CDC on a target table, Oracle creates a background process called the LogMiner, which scans the online redo logs and extracts information about the changes made to the specified table. The extracted information is then stored in a set of views and dictionaries that can be queried to retrieve the CDC data.

In order to enable CDC on a target table, you need to execute the ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS command. This command turns on an Oracle trace that captures changes to the specified table. The syntax for the command is as follows:

ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12'

This command tells Oracle to start a trace with event 10046, set the trace name to CONTEXT, and set the trace level to 12. The FOREVER option tells Oracle to continue capturing changes until the trace is explicitly turned off.

Once the trace is enabled, any changes made to the target table will be captured and stored in the v$logmnr_contents view, which can be queried to retrieve the CDC data.

It's important to note that enabling CDC on a table can have a performance impact on the database, as the LogMiner process can consume significant resources. Therefore, it is recommended to only enable CDC on the tables that are needed for your use case and to disable it as soon as you are done with it

But you will need to handle the connection, error handling, and other additional things like storing the CDC data in a file or sending it to another service.


Python Approach

To send the CDC data to AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service), you would need to use a programming language such as Python or Java to write a script that connects to the Oracle database, retrieves the CDC data, and then sends it to an SNS topic. The script would need to use the appropriate libraries or APIs to interact with both Oracle and AWS SNS.

Below is the sample code for sending data to AWS SNS using python.


import boto3

sns = boto3.client('sns')

response = sns.publish(

    TopicArn='arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:MyTopic',

    Message='Hello World!',

)

print(response)

You will need to replace the TopicArn and message with the appropriate values for your use case.

Here is an example of a Python script that captures CDC data from an Oracle database and prints it to the console:

import cx_Oracle

# Connect to the Oracle database

connection = cx_Oracle.connect('username', 'password', 'db_name')

cursor = connection.cursor()

# Enable CDC on the target table

cursor.execute("ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12'")

# Retrieve the CDC data

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM v$logmnr_contents")

# Print the CDC data to the console

for row in cursor:

    print(row)

# Disable CDC and close the connection

cursor.execute("ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT OFF'")

connection.close()


This script uses the cx_Oracle library to interact with the Oracle database. It first establishes a connection to the database using the connect() method, and then creates a cursor object to execute SQL commands.

The script then enables CDC on the target table by running the ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS command. This command turns on an Oracle trace that captures changes to the specified table.

Next, the script retrieves the CDC data by querying the v$logmnr_contents view, which contains information about the changes that have been captured by the trace. The script then iterates through the result set and prints each row to the console.

Finally, the script disables CDC and closes the connection to the database.

This is a basic example, In real-world scenarios, you'll need to handle the connection, error handling, and other additional things like storing the CDC data in a file or sending it to another service.

It's important to note that enabling CDC on a table can have a performance impact on the database, as the LogMiner process can consume significant resources. Therefore, it is recommended to only enable CDC on the tables that are needed for your use case and to disable it as soon as you are done with it.

If you need to continuously track changes to the target table in real-time, then running the CDC code in a scheduled manner, such as every few seconds or minutes, might be appropriate.

However, if you only need to capture changes periodically, then running the CDC code on a schedule, such as once a day or week, might be more appropriate.

It also depends on how much data is being changed in the table, and how much data you're able to store or process. If the data is changing frequently and in large quantities, running the CDC code more often might be necessary to keep up with the changes.

It's also important to note that enabling CDC on a table can have a performance impact on the database, as the LogMiner process can consume significant resources. Therefore, it is recommended to only enable CDC on the tables that are needed for your use case and to disable it as soon as you are done with it.
