+<h1>Oracle Database Output Module</h1>
+<p><b>Module Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; omoracle</b></p>
+<p><b>Author: </b>Luis Fernando Mu&ntilde;oz Mej&iacute;as &lt;Luis.Fernando.Munoz.Mejias@cern.ch&gt;</p>
+<p><b>Available since: </b>: 4.3.0
+<p><b>Status: </b>: contributed module, not maitained by rsyslog core authors
+<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
+<p>This module provides native support for logging to Oracle databases. It offers
+superior performance over the more generic <a href="omlibdbi.html">omlibdbi</a> module.
+It also includes a number of enhancements, most importantly prepared statements and
+batching, what provides a big performance improvements.
+</p>
+<p>Note that this module is maintained by its original author. If you need assistance with it,
+it is suggested to post questions to the
+<a href="http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog">rsyslog mailing list</a>.
+<p>From the header comments of this module:
+<p><pre>
+
+ This is an output module feeding directly to an Oracle
+ database. It uses Oracle Call Interface, a propietary module
+ provided by Oracle.
+
+ Selector lines to be used are of this form:
+
+ :omoracle:;TemplateName
+
+ The module gets its configuration via rsyslog $... directives,
+ namely:
+
+ $OmoracleDBUser: user name to log in on the database.
+
+ $OmoracleDBPassword: password to log in on the database.
+
+ $OmoracleDB: connection string (an Oracle easy connect or a db
+ name as specified by tnsnames.ora)
+
+ $OmoracleBatchSize: Number of elements to send to the DB on each
+ transaction.
+
+ $OmoracleStatement: Statement to be prepared and executed in
+ batches. Please note that Oracle's prepared statements have their
+ placeholders as ':identifier', and this module uses the colon to
+ guess how many placeholders there will be.
+
+ All these directives are mandatory. The dbstring can be an Oracle
+ easystring or a DB name, as present in the tnsnames.ora file.
+
+ The form of the template is just a list of strings you want
+ inserted to the DB, for instance:
+
+ $template TestStmt,"%hostname%%msg%"
+
+ Will provide the arguments to a statement like
+
+ $OmoracleStatement \
+ insert into foo(hostname,message)values(:host,:message)
+
+ Also note that identifiers to placeholders are arbitrarry. You
+ need to define the properties on the template in the correct order
+ you want them passed to the statement!
