Oracle GoldenGate is a real-time data capture and replication service for heterogeneous databases and IT environments. However, this service doesn’t currently support Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle. For a list of supported databases, see Oracle GoldenGate for Heterogeneous Databases (Oracle documentation). This pattern describes how to use Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle GoldenGate flat file adapters to generate flat files from the source Oracle database, which can be on-premises or on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance. You can then import those flat files to an Amazon RDS for Oracle database instance.
