Dear Team, We are working on the project that will support documents managament for one of our clients using jackrabbit-oak under the hood. We faced issue related to not sufficient Oracle DB version. We are using Oracle 11g and we got the log error saying that minimal supported version is 12.1. However I checked Your code on bitbucket and this is just the log of error which doesn’t exit the current execution (see line 169: ihttps://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/jackrabbit-oak-1.6.1/oak-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/document/rdb/RDBBlobStore.java). We were looking at your JIRA and we noticed that actually everywhere you mention about the oracle driver version 12 not DB itself. Does it mean that using oracle driver in version 12 is sufficient to fix this issue?
Additionaly to above ERROR log further execution results in exception related to wrong SQL syntax (ORA-00933). It is thrown by executing query method in RDBDocumentStoreJDBC where it tries to use construction “FIRST x ROWS” which indeed is not available untill Oracle 12c (see line 473 https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/jackrabbit-oak-1.6.1/oak-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/document/rdb/RDBDocumentStoreJDBC.java). We are considering preparing patch with changed org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.document.rdb.ORACLE.getFetchFirstSyntax() method so that will use LIMIT instead. However we’re not sure about any other impact that can be caused by this change and whether other places should be changed to properly work with Oracle 11. I would be really grateful if you will advice us on possible solution to this issue as upgrading Oracle version is currently not an option. I appreciate your quick response. Best Regards, Dawid Cokan
