Oracle DBT

Installation

You need the oracle database client installed in your system in order for this to work, here (https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/installation.html) you can find the cx_oracle python driver installation instructions.

This (https://gist.github.com/tcnksm/7316877) gist is also a useful resource for installing the client in Ubuntu. It's an old link for Ubuntu 12 but it still works at least for ubuntu 18.

Installing:

pip install dbt-oracle=0.1.3

Configure your profile

dbt_oracle_test:
   target: dev
   outputs:
      dev:
         type: oracle
         host: localhost
         user: system
         pass: oracle
         port: 1521
         dbname: xe
         schema: system
         threads: 4

Testing

There is a dummy dbt project called dbt_test_project for testing some things that the official dbt integration tests do not cover. For running it first start an oracle database instance:

docker run \
--name dbt-oracle-db \
-d \
-p 1521:1521 \
epiclabs/docker-oracle-xe-11g

Install the project locally

python setup.py install

then run dbt seed and run (theres is a profile file compatible with oracle 11g docker defaults at the test dir)

cd dbt_test_project
dbt seed --profiles-dir ./
dbt run --profiles-dir ./

DBT Integration Tests

DBT team provides a project with some integration tests that can programatically assert that the plugin provides all the DBT features.

you can find it here: https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt-integration-tests

Currently we are using a fork of this project to apadpt some parts of it for running with oracle db

https://github.com/vitoravancini/dbt-integration-tests

The specific changes are specified at the project's readme

for running it against dbt-oracle adapter one can run:

make test-dbt-integration

Final Notes

This is a new project and any contribuitions are welcome.
