oracle 12 c Document Store RDBMS VS NoSql - oracle

I want to know oracle 12 c Document Store RDBMS VS NoSql
I think that the Oracle 12c DocumentStore works similarly to MondoDB(schemaless-database).
But today I heard a shocking story.
Oracle12C database works similar to RDBMS. oracle12c document-store create a temporary schema and store data in database. So Oracle12c DocumentStore is not NoSql. Also, how to use Nosql as RDBMS service without separate installation? It just provides similar functionality, not Nosql.
and I said "That's one feature built into the ORACLE12C version, NoSql is correct."
No conclusion, I don't think I'm wrong, but I ask a question because I wanted to get an accurate answer. Please provide a answer or related documentation.

Reading and Updating data of Oracle DB without License

I've got to update the data of an Oracle DB but I'm not the owner and ain't got any Oracle License.
The goal is to explain to my interlocutor how to create a dump from his Oracle DB, to find out how to restore this dump in a DB (a free version of Oracle or something else), update some data in some tables, and then make another dump to send it back to my interlocutor.
So the differents questions I have are:
1- Is it possible to create a dump (maybe in SQL format) without any specifics dependencies to Oracle ?
2- Is there a way to restore this dump in a free lightweight Oracle, or another kind of DB like Postgresql ?
3- Does Oracle, is able to handle any kind of dump et restore it in an Oracle DB or is there any constraints to respect ?
I am very new to Oracle and ain't got, on my personal computer, any possibility to try out the dump/restore by myself; that's why, any help will be appreciated !
1- Is it possible to create a dump (maybe in SQL format) without any specifics dependencies to Oracle ?
Oracle offers Data Pump utilities (export and import) for such purposes. You'd export table (or schema) - result is a ".dmp" file, readable by import utility. You'd then move that file to your own server (see #2 for the rest)
2- Is there a way to restore this dump in a free lightweight Oracle, or another kind of DB like Postgresql ?
On your own server (which could be a laptop; no problem), you'd install a free Oracle Express Edition (XE) database. Currently, the last version is 21c, but some others should still be available in Oracle Technology Network's Download section.
3- Does Oracle, is able to handle any kind of dump et restore it in an Oracle DB or is there any constraints to respect ?
XE database has its limits - from your point of view, the most important is that it can handle up to 12GB of user data. Therefore, if the .dmp file doesn't contain more data than that, you should be able to import it.
Another constraint is the compatibility. Not all exports can be imported into all databases. There's a matrix which shows which versions match; it is available on My Oracle Support site (but you have to have access to it, which you - as you said - don't. Though, generally speaking, "close" Oracle database versions can interchange .dmp files. It would be best if these two database versions match, of course.

Using TOAD data modeler with existing TOAD Oracle

I need to start a long-term project in mapping out data tables so that we can get a high-level view of what information we store in our Oracle database and how the tables are linked to each other. This is largely for GDPR preparation.
Since our organization has been around for a number of decades, its database is massive. With TOAD for Oracle, I'm able to see all columns in our tables easily, so I started looking at different database mapping tools (ER/ONE, DDM, Astah) but they all look like I need to manually create all the tables and columns and draw their relationships out by hand.
I'm hoping to minimize as much manual labor as possible and am wondering if using TOAD data modeler would help since I'm using TOAD for Oracle anyways. Could I somehow automate the table, column, and relationship creation process?
Our organization only has Oracle's base version unfortunately (I think the premium bundle has data mapper included in it maybe... not sure.) Any thoughts on the options I have?

Bundle: Toad for Oracle Base (64-bit), Add-Ons: <-none->

Note: TOAD is not an Oracle product, it is owned and developed by Quest.

Any decent data modelling tool supports reverse engineer a physical data model from an existing schema. How good the derived model is will depend on how good your schema is (my bet: decades of development without an existing data modelling tool? not good). For instance, if your schema has foreign keys the reverse engineering process will use them to draw the relationships between tables (even if they are disabled). But if there are no foreign keys then you're on your own.
As you're using already TOAD you are right to want the TOAD modelling extension. You can buy it as a standalone purchase. But if your company won't spring for the extra licenses you should check out Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler. It's free and it has the most comprehensive support for idiomatic Oracle. (I'm not saying it's the best DM tool of them all but it's very good for something which is free). Find out more.

Oracle 11g to 12c migration gotchas?

I am embarking on an 11g to 12c Oracle DB migration. I will need to do it at least twice, once for testing, a 2nd time fro production. My initial thought is to use expdp/impdp. I export "full" the DB nightly using expdp.
My problem in the past when importing a full DB is it can get squirrely regarding the system schema/users. A full import tries to muck with system schemas (sys, system, sysman...). My new 12c DB is a portable DB, and obviously I want none of the settings or data from the system schemas, that may hose my new DB.
I do however want all of the non system schemas and users, of which there are 5 or so real schemas, and 30 or so "users."
I have been looking for some blogs or documents that address this issue, and can't find any. A pointer to documentation on how to avoid the problems described above would be great.
Also if there are any other gotchas when doing the migration, a heads up on that would be useful as well.

Cannot get Entity Framework 5 and Power Tools to work correctly with Oracle 11g

I know this question is similar to another one, but I have now tried both the Oracle data provider and the Devart (dotConnect) provider, and cannot get either combination to work well with our Oracle 11g database and the Power Tools "reverse engineer code first" feature.
With the Oracle provider, there was no way to specify a schema or subset of the database, and it cranked out almost 3,000 entity classes, even though the connection was specific to the target application. It grabbed all the Oracle system tables, etc., along with the application data tables.
With the Devart provider, I still could not specify WHAT to generate, and ended up having to kill it off after running for almost a day.
Anyone know how to get this stuff working with Oracle?
We have answered you about dotConnect for Oracle (Entity Developer) at http://forums.devart.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27520.

Is there a way for the Oracle Data Integrator to extract data from MongoDB

I'm trying to move snapshots of data from our MongoDB into our Oracle BI data store.
From the BI team I've been asked to make the data available for ODI, but I haven't been able to find an example of that being done.
Is it possible and what do I need to implement it?
If there is a more generic way of getting MongoDB data into Oracle then I'm happy to propose that as well.
Versions
MongoDB: 2.0.1
ODI: 11.1.1.5
Oracle: 11.2g
Edit:
This is something that will be queried once a day, maybe twice but at this stage the BI report granularity is daily
In ODI, under the Topology tab and Physical Architecture sub-tab, you can see all technologies that are supported out of the box. MongoDB is not one of them. There are also no Knowledge Modules available for importing/exporting from/to MongoDB.
ODI supports implementing your own technologies and your own Knowledge Modules.
This manual will get you started with developing your won Knowledge module, and in one of the other manuals i'm sure you can find an explanation on how to implement your own technologies. (Ctrl-F for "Data integrator")
If you're lucky, you might find someone else who has already implemented it. Your best places to look would be The Oracle Technology Network Forum, or a forum related to MongoDB.
Instead of creating a direct link, you could also take an easier workaround. Export the data from the MongoDB to a format that ODI supports, and MongoDB can extract to. CSV or XML maybe? Then load the data trough ODI into the oracle database. I think... that will be the best option, unless you have to do this frequently...
Look at the blog post below for an option;
