```

## Use the Oracle Connector

The Oracle Connector allows you to index data from your database by executing a custom SQL query.

### Configure Oracle Datasource

To configure your Oracle connection, you'll need to provide the connection details and the query to fetch the data.

`Connection URI`: The full Oracle connection string.

`SQL Query`: The SQL query that will be executed to fetch the data for indexing. You can use `JOIN`s and select specific columns.

`Last Modified Field`: (Optional) For incremental sync, specify a timestamp or datetime column (e.g., `updated_at`). The connector will only fetch rows where this field's value is newer than the last sync time.

`Enable Pagination`: (Optional) A boolean (`true` or `false`) to enable paginated fetching. This is highly recommended for large tables to avoid high memory usage. Your SQL query must include an `ORDER BY` clause for pagination to work correctly.

`Page Size`: (Optional) The number of records to fetch per page when pagination is enabled. Defaults to `500`.

`Field Mapping`: (Optional) An advanced feature to map columns from your SQL query to specific document fields like `id`, `title`, `content`, and custom metadata.

### Example Request

Here is an example request to configure the Oracle Connector:

```shell
curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -XPOST "http://localhost:9000/datasource/" -d '
{
    "name":"My Oracle Documents",
    "type":"connector",
    "connector":{
        "id": "oracle",
        "config": {
            "connection_uri": "oracle://user:password@host:1521/service_name",
            "sql": "SELECT * from DOC ORDER BY id",
            "pagination": true,
            "page_size": 500,
            "last_modified_field": "updated",
            "field_mapping": {
                "enabled": true,
                "mapping": {
                    "hashed": true,
                    "id": "id",
                    "title": "title",
                    "url": "url",
                    "metadata": [
                      {
                        "name": "version",
                        "value": "v"
                      }
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}'
```
