Overview: Synchronizing Oracle Internet Directory with Relational Database Tables

The process of synchronization with a database server involves executing a directory integration profile. This process has two steps:

1. Retrieving the data from the database. This involves executing a SQL SELECT statement that retrieves the specified data records from the database.

2. Writing the data into the directory. This involves converting the retrieved data records to LDAP attribute values and performing the LDAP operation on the directory.
