Write to Oracle

This guide shows you how to create an Oracle Write Component.

Prerequisites

• Oracle Connection with write permissions
• An Ascend Flow with a Component that contains data

Create a new Write Component

From your workspace Super Graph view, follow these steps to create your Write Component:

Form

1. Double-click the Flow where you want to create your Component
2. Right-click on any Component
3. Hover over Create Downstream -> Write, and select your target Connection
4. Complete the form with these details:
   • Select your Flow
   • Enter a descriptive Component Name like write_mysql

Files panel

1. Open the Files panel in the top left corner
2. Navigate to and select your desired Flow
3. Right-click on the components directory and choose New file
4. Name your file with a descriptive name like write_mysql.yaml and press enter

Configure your Oracle Write Component

Follow these steps to configure your Oracle Write Component:

1. Set up your Connection
   • Enter your Oracle Connection name in the connection field
2. Define your data source
   • Set input to the Component that contains your source data
3. Configure the write destination
   • Set up the oracle write connector options
   • Specify your target table name, schema, and other required properties
4. Choose a write strategy

   Select the strategy that best fits your use case:

   Strategy	Description	Best for
   full (default)	Replaces the entire target table during each Flow Run	Reference tables, complete data refreshes
   partitioned	Updates only the partitions that have changed	Time-series data, regional datasets, date-partitioned tables
   snapshot	Creates flexible output as a single file or multiple chunks	Data exports, analytical datasets, flexible output formats

For detailed guidance on when to use each strategy, see the write strategies guide.

Example

write_oracle.yaml

component:
  write:
    connection: write_oracle
    input:
      name: my_component
      flow: my_flow
    strategy:
      full:
        mode: drop_and_recreate
    oracle:
      table:
        name: my_output_table

This configuration:

• References an Oracle Connection named write_oracle
• Uses my_component from my_flow as the input data
• Applies a full write strategy with drop_and_recreate mode
• Writes to an Oracle table named my_output_table

🎉 Congratulations! You successfully created an Oracle Write Component in Ascend.
