14 Ingest Data

This chapter explains how AI Data Platforms can ingest data from different internal and external sources.

Oracle AI Data Platform enables seamless ingestion of data from both external and internal sources using Spark-based notebooks. Whether you're pulling data from cloud services, on-premise databases, or Oracle-native platforms, Oracle AI Data Platform provides flexible, code-driven ingestion methods that support your data engineering workflows at scale.

With Oracle AI Data Platform's ingestion connectors, you can:

  • Use drag and drop features to generate notebook code for fast connection setup.
  • Ingest batch or near real-time data from a wide variety of systems.
  • Leverage Spark and JDBC-based patterns to read, write, and process data efficiently.
  • Register external sources as catalogs for direct querying without duplication.

Explore the following sections to learn more:

  • External Sources - Ingest data from MySQL, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and more.
  • Internal Sources - Connect with Oracle-native systems like ADW, Fusion via BICC, and Oracle DB.
