Purpose: Run SELECT to ingest data from Oracle 19c, and save the data into Azure ADLS Gen2 object storage, in Parquet format. Steps Step 1 Prepare the environment Make sure the Oracle 19c environment works well.  Prepare an Oracle table:    CREATE TABLE demo_sample ( column1 NUMBER, column2 NUMBER, column3 NUMBER, column4 VARCHAR2(10), column5 VARCHAR2(10), column6 VARCHAR2(10), column7 VARCHAR2(10), column8 VARCHAR2(10), column9 VARCHAR2(10), column10 VARCHAR2(10), column11 VARCHAR2(10), column12 VARCHAR2(10), CONSTRAINT pk_demo_sample PRIMARY KEY (column1, column2, column3, column4, column5, column6, column7, column8, column9) );   Prepare 20000 records data:   import cx_Oracle import random # Oracleデータベース接続情報 dsn = cx_Oracle.makedsn("<your Oracle database>", 1521, service_name="PDB1") connection = cx_Oracle.connect(user="<your user name>", password="<your password>", dsn=dsn) # データ挿入関数 def insert_data(): cursor = connection.cursor() sql = """ INSERT INTO demo_sample ( column1, column2, column3, column4, column5, column6, column7, column8, column9, column10, column11, column12 ) VALUES ( :1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, :9, :10, :11, :12 ) """ batch_size = 10000 data = [] for i in range(20000): # 2万件 record = ( random.randint(1, 1000), random.randint(1, 1000), random.randint(1, 1000), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)), ''.join(random.choices('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', k=10)) ) data.append(record) if len(data) == batch_size: cursor.executemany(sql, data) connection.commit() data = [] if data: cursor.executemany(sql, data) connection.commit() cursor.close() # メイン処理 try: insert_data() finally: connection.close()   Step 2 Processor: ExecuteSQLRecord This ExecuteSQLRecord uses two Service, Database Connection Pooling Service: DBCPConnectionPool Processor, named EC2-DBCPConnectionPool. ParquetRecordSetWriter, named ParquetRecordSetWriter. Step 3: Create DBCPConnectionPool Download the Oracle JDBC Driver from here https://www.oracle.com/jp/database/technologies/appdev/jdbc-downloads.html    Save the jdbc driver here (or anywhere your nifi can access): /Users/zzeng/Downloads/tools/Oracle_JDBC/ojdbc8-full/ojdbc8.jar DBCPConnectionPool Properties: Database Connection URL: The JDBC Driver URI. eg. jdbc:oracle:thin:@//ec2-54-222-333-444.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1521/PDB1 Database Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver Database Driver Location(s) : /Users/zzeng/Downloads/tools/Oracle_JDBC/ojdbc8-full/ojdbc8.jar Database User: my Oracle access user name, eg zzeng Password: Password, will be automatically encrypted by NiFi Step 4: Create ParquetRecordSetWriter service We can use default settings here.   Step 5: UpdateAttribute to set the file name in Azure Add a value :   Key: azure.filename Value : ${uuid:append('.ext')} Step 6: Use PutAzureDataLakeStorage to save data into Azure Step 7: Create ADLSCredentialsControllerService service for PutAzureDataLakeStorage so that we can save data into Azure Storage Account Name: the value in your Azure account    SAS Token: The value in your Azure account Step 8: Enable the 3 services Step 9: Have a try Choose `Run Once`   And you will find the files are there ...

Time Elapsed: 0.204s zzeng#COMPUTE_WH@ZZENG.PUBLIC>   Considerations and limitations Iceberg tables The following is an excerpt from Snowflake documents, where considerations and limitations apply to Iceberg tables, and are subject to change: Iceberg Versions 1 and 2 of the Apache Iceberg specification are supported, excluding the following features: Row-level deletes (either position deletes or equality deletes). Using the history.expire.min-snapshots-to-keep table property to specify the default minimum number of snapshots to keep. For more information, see Metadata and snapshots. Iceberg partitioning with the bucket transform function impacts performance for queries that use conditional clauses to filter results. Iceberg tables created from files in object storage aren’t supported if the following conditions are true: The table contains a partition spec that defines an identity transform. The source column of the partition spec does not exist in a Parquet file. For Iceberg tables that are not managed by Snowflake, time travel to any snapshot generated after table creation is supported as long as you periodically refresh the table before the snapshot expires. File formats Support is limited to Apache Parquet files. Parquet files that use the unsigned integer logical type are not supported. External volumes You must access the cloud storage locations in external volumes using direct credentials. Storage integrations are not supported. The trust relationship must be configured separately for each external volume that you create. Metadata files The metadata files do not identify the most recent snapshot of an Iceberg table. You cannot modify the location of the data files or snapshot using the ALTER ICEBERG TABLE command. To modify either of these settings, you must recreate the table (using the CREATE OR REPLACE ICEBERG TABLE syntax).   ... View more
