Oracle Requirements

Stages supports the following Oracle versions:

• 10g
• 11g
• 12c

For Oracle 12.2, this patch needs to be installed: Patch #25818707: PLSQL COMPILATION FAILS WITH ORA-06555 WHEN USING STANDARD OBJECT NAME IN 12.2 (NEW FOR 7.2!)

Stages requires a separate tablespace on the Oracle Server.

To access Oracle with Stages a technical/proxy user with at least the following permissions is necessary:

• CREATE SESSION
• CREATE SEQUENCE
• CREATE TABLE
• CREATE TRIGGER
• CREATE PROCEDURE
• CREATE VIEW
• CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
• EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_CRYPTO (NEW FOR 7.2!)
• QUERY REWRITE
• UNLIMITED TABLESPACE (or enough tablespace)

Stages needs a database with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR. For optimal performance, set the “cursor_sharing” parameter to “force”.
