Streamline your data management process with the Oracle Call Interface + WebService SOAP integration

The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is an application programming interface (API) that allows applications written in C to interact with one or more Oracle Servers. OCI gives your programs the capability to perform the full range of database operations that are possible with Oracle8 Server, including SQL statement processing and object manipulation.

Data Guard provides the management, monitoring, and automation software to create and maintain one or more synchronized copies of a production database to protect Oracle data from failures, disasters and data corruptions. Moreover Oracle Advanced Analytics execute powerful computations to the database resulting in dramatic improvements in information discovery, scalability, security, and savings.

Oracle Label Security uses row level data classifications to enforce access controls restricting users to only the data they are allowed to access. It enables organizations to control their operational and storage costs by enabling data with different levels of sensitivity to co-mingle within the same database.

SOAP (originally Simple Object Access Protocol) is a messaging protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of web services in computer networks. Its purpose is to induce extensibility, neutrality and independence.

It uses XML Information Set for its message format, and relies on application layer protocols, most often Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), for message negotiation and transmission.

SOAP allows processes running on disparate operating systems (such as Windows and Linux) to communicate using Extensible Markup Language (XML). Since Web protocols like HTTP are installed and running on all operating systems, SOAP allows clients to invoke web services and receive responses independent of language and platforms.
