Oracle Information Integration, Migration, and Consolidation

Overview of this book

The book covers data migration, data consolidation, and data integration, the three scenarios that are typically part of the information integration life cycle. Organizations typically find themselves migrating data to Oracle and either later, or at the same time, consolidating multiple database instances into a single global instance for a department, or even an entire company. The business savings and technical benefits of data consolidation cannot be overlooked, and this book will help you to use Oracle's technology to achieve these goals. This highly practical and business-applicable book will teach you to be successful with the latest Oracle data and application integration, migration, information life-cycle management, and consolidation products and technologies.In this book, you will gain hands-on advice about data consolidation, integration, and migration using tools and best practices. Along the way you will leverage products like Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle GoldenGate, and SQL Developer, as well as Data Hubs and 11gR2 Database. The book covers everything from the early background of information integration and the impact of SOA, to products like Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. By the end you'll have a clear idea of where information and application integration is headed and how to plan your own projects.

Preface

Products not covered


There are two sets of data-related content management — unstructured data products that were not covered in this chapter:

  • Oracle XMLType data type (a database feature)

  • Oracle Content Management

This database feature and Oracle product suite were not covered as this book focuses on relational database information integration and data migration. Certainly, the Oracle XMLType data type can be used to consolidate and manage XML formatted documents. Oracle's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Suite, mostly acquired from Stellent, is a best-of-breed ECM solutions encompass Document and Records Management, Web Content Management, Digital Asset Management, Imaging and Business Process Management, Information Rights Management, and Risk and Compliance. However, the Oracle ECM product line also does not fall into traditional relational databases-based integration or migration.
