Prepare source databases
Enable CDC features in your source databases
Each database uses a different mechanism to track changes to its data and generally, these mechanisms are not switched on by default. RDI's Debezium collector uses these mechanisms for change data capture (CDC), so you must prepare your source database before you can use it with RDI.
RDI supports the following source databases:
| Database | Versions | AWS RDS Versions | GCP SQL Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oracle | 12c, 19c, 21c | 19c, 21c | - |
| MariaDB | 10.5, 11.4.3 | 10.4 to 10.11, 11.4.3 | - |
| MySQL | 5.7, 8.0.x, 8.2 | 8.0.x | 8.0 |
| PostgreSQL | 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | 15 |
| SQL Server | 2017, 2019, 2022 | 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022 | 2019 |
| AlloyDB for PostgreSQL | 14.2, 15.7 | - | 14.2, 15.7 |
| AWS Aurora/PostgreSQL | 15 | 15 | - |
