[destination-oracle] Cannot create destination after upgrading connector version to 1.0.0 failed with ORA-00902: invalid datatype about airbyte

Hey,

I have the same issue...

re-categorized to the proper team

@hugovandernotte are you interested in making and trying out the needed changes?

[hugovandernotte]

Hey @evantahler,

That's a kind proposal but I won't be able to do in a near future...

As this is a community connector, so we will not be able to commit to any fixes or work on the connector. Is there a specific version of Oracle that you are using that doesn't support JSON columns? In our testing, things seem OK (including creating table with type JSON). Is it the case the in all versions of the database, NCLOB is better than JSON, or does this need to be a user option?

If you wanted to modify the connector, to change JSON back to NCLOB, look here

Thanks for your answer, we are using the 19c version, and it seems that from the 21c one, the JSOn type is supported, so we will try an update on our side, I will let you know whether it fixes the issue or not :)

Yep! using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database, JSON types appeared version 21 of the database, and version 23 is current.
