Oracle Database Link Parameters

Table 1 lists the parameters for a link to an Oracle database.

If the value is either too large or too small, the job may run for a long time. A migration from the Oracle to DWS database may time out due to a long data write duration in the DWS database. In this case, reduce the value of Fetch Size for the Oracle database.	1000
Link Attributes	(Optional) Click Add to add the JDBC connector attributes of multiple specified data sources. For details, see the JDBC connector document of the corresponding database. The following are some examples: oracle.net.CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60000 and oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout=300000: When a large amount of data needs to be migrated or the entire table is retrieved using query statements, the migration fails due to connection timeout. In this case, you can customize the connection timeout interval (ms) and read timeout interval (ms) to prevent failures caused by timeout.	sslmode=require
