OracleRDBMSMetadataBuilder support for keyColumn path field - to support Mongo collection creation

[mshannongit]

Mongo compatible collection creation on 19c using ords PUT against /ords/admin/soda/latest/< collectionname > may look similar to ...

{"contentColumn":{"name":"DATA"},"keyColumn":{"name":"ID","sqlType":"VARCHAR2","maxLength":255,"assignmentMethod":"EMBEDDED_OID","path":"_id"},"versionColumn":{"name":"VERSION","method":"UUID"},"lastModifiedColumn":{"name":"LAST_MODIFIED"},"creationTimeColumn":{"name":"CREATED_ON"}}

OracleRDBMSMetadataBuilder doesn't appear to support that path parameter override.

Additionally , keyColumnAssignmentMethod("EMBEDDED_OID") needs support added.

final OracleDocument metadata = cl.createMetadataBuilder().contentColumnName("DATA").keyColumnName("ID").keyColumnType("VARCHAR2").keyColumnMaxLength(255).keyColumnAssignmentMethod("EMBEDDED_OID").versionColumnName("VERSION").versionColumnMethod("UUID").lastModifiedColumnName("LAST_MODIFIED").creationTimeColumnName("CREATED_ON").schemaName(targetUser).tableName("COMPANY").build();

Currently the following exception is seen ...

OracleException occurred : Invalid argument value "EMBEDDED_OID".

Looks like even PL/SQL doesn't work .. and the only hope is just using ORDS http request directly ...

Right, currently we only support EMBEDDED_OID thru Mongo API (as documented here).

But we're working on adding it in the SODA drivers. For SODA Java, it's currently planned for the next release. May I ask if there's some urgency on this for you, so that we prioritize accordingly? Please feel free to email us directly with details if that's easier. My email is: maxim dot orgiyan at oracle dot com (remove the spaces, change "at" to "@", and change "dot" to ".").

Thank you!

Using a SODA REST client, I can create the mongo compatible collection.

That collection though cannot be read using

        OracleRDBMSClient cl = new OracleRDBMSClient();
        OracleDatabase db = cl.getDatabase(conn);
        OracleCollection col = db.openCollection(collectionName);

It will give the error ...
