Oracle Parquet Dumper - by GizmoData™
The GizmoData™ Oracle Parquet Dumper utility is a command-line tool that allows you to export Oracle database table data to Parquet files. It can be used in conjunction with the GizmoSQL database engine to hyper-accelerate Oracle SQL analytical (OLAP) workloads at reduced cost.
This package uses the Python "oracledb" package to connect to Oracle databases, and the pyarrow package to write Parquet files.
You can install oracle-parquet-dumper from source.

Usage: oracle-parquet-dumper [OPTIONS]
Options:
--version / --no-version Prints the Oracle Parquet Dumper utility
version and exits. [required]
--username TEXT The Oracle database username to connect
with. Defaults to environment variable:
DATABASE_USERNAME if set. [required]
--password TEXT The Oracle database password to connect
with. Defaults to environment variable:
DATABASE_PASSWORD if set. [required]
--hostname TEXT The Oracle database hostname to connect to.
Defaults to environment variable:
DATABASE_HOSTNAME if set. [required]
--service-name TEXT The Oracle database service name to connect
to. Defaults to environment variable:
DATABASE_SERVICE_NAME if set. [required]
--port INTEGER The Oracle database port to connect to.
Defaults to environment variable:
DATABASE_PORT if set. [default: 1521;
required]
--schema TEXT The schema to export objects for, may be
specified more than once. Defaults to
environment variable: DATABASE_USERNAME if
set. [required]
--table-name-include-pattern TEXT
The regexp pattern to use to filter object
names to include in the export. [default:
.*; required]
--table-name-exclude-pattern TEXT
The regexp pattern to use to filter object
names to exclude in the export.
--output-directory TEXT The path to the output directory - may be
relative or absolute. [default: output;
required]
--overwrite / --no-overwrite Controls whether to overwrite any existing
DDL export files in the output path.
[default: no-overwrite; required]
--compression-method [none|snappy|gzip|zstd]
The compression method to use for the
parquet files generated. [default: zstd;
required]
--batch-size INTEGER The compression method to use for the
parquet files generated. Defaults to
environment variable: BATCH_SIZE if set,
otherwise: 10000. [default: 10000;
required]
--row-limit INTEGER The maximum number of rows to export from
each table - useful for testing/debugging
purposes. Defaults to -1 - no limit.
[default: -1; required]
--isolation-level TEXT The Oracle session Isolation level - used to
get a consistent export of table data with
regards to System Change Number (SCN).
Defaults to environment variable:
ISOLATION_LEVEL if set, otherwise:
'SERIALIZABLE'. [default: SERIALIZABLE;
required]
--lowercase-object-names / --no-lowercase-object-names
Controls whether the dump utility lower-
cases the object names (i.e. schema, table,
and column names). [default: no-lowercase-
object-names; required]
--parquet-max-file-size INTEGER
The maximum file size for the parquet files
generated. Defaults to environment
variable: PARQUET_MAX_FILE_SIZE if set,
otherwise: 200,000,000. Note: this is not
the maximum size of the parquet file, but
the maximum size of the file on disk. The
actual parquet file may be larger due to
compression. The file size is determined by
the number of rows in the table and the
batch size. The file size is not guaranteed
to be less than this value, but it will be
close. [default: 200000000; required]
--log-level TEXT The logging level to use for the
application. Defaults to environment
variable: LOGGING_LEVEL if set, otherwise:
'INFO'. [default: INFO; required]
