+<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!

+<h2>$MaxOpenFiles</h2>
+<p><b>Available Since:</b> 4.3.0</p>
+<p><b>Type:</b> global configuration directive</p>
+<p><b>Default:</b> <i>operating system default</i></p>
+<p><b>Description:</b></p>
+<p>Set the maximum number of files that the rsyslog process can have open at any given
+time. Note that this includes open tcp sockets, so this setting is the upper limit for
+the number of open TCP connections as well. If you expect a large nubmer of concurrent
+connections, it is suggested that the number is set to the max number connected plus 1000.
+Please note that each dynafile also requires up to 100 open file handles.
+<p>The setting is similar to running "ulimit -n number-of-files".
+<p>Please note that depending on permissions and operating system configuration, the
+setrlimit() request issued by rsyslog may fail, in which case the previous limit is kept
+in effect. Rsyslog will emit a warning message in this case.
+<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
+<p><code><b>$MaxOpenFiles 2000</b></code></p>
+<p><b>Bugs:</b></p>
+<p>For some reason, this settings seems not to work on all platforms. If you experience
+problems, please let us know so that we can (hopefully) narrow down the issue.
