Oracle Connector - Catalog, Transform, Query, Visualize

The Oracle connector allows data to be cataloged, queried, transformed and to create tables in Oracle. This can be used to quickly and easily join data between different systems like Oracle and Hive, or between different Oracle instances.


The Oracle connector is available for the Promethium Enterprise edition. The Oracle connector is currently not available for the Free or Professional editions.
