title: opensource tool for Oracle Change data capture - Alternative to GoldenGate
body: <p>Looking for an Open source alternative to GoldenGate that will stream all the DML operation in the source Oracle to a compacted kafka topic. My employer acknowledge that Larry doesn't possibly need another island. So licensing Oracle GoldenGate is not an option.</p>
  
  <p>Looked at <a href="https://gitter.im/linkedin/brooklin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://gitter.im/linkedin/brooklin</a>, <a href="https://github.com/linkedin/databus" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/linkedin/databus</a> , <a href="https://github.com/debezium/debezium" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/debezium/debezium</a> so far. I couldn't find any documentation that states how to do Oracle CDC using these. Any pointer will be greatly appreciated. I am not asking any opinions or recommendations, I am seeking viable alternatives of GoldenGate.</p>
  
  <h2>Edit</h2>
  
  <p>I got this from Debezium <a href="https://gitter.im/debezium/user" rel="nofollow noreferrer">gitter</a>/slack channel, <a href="https://debezium.io/docs/connectors/oracle/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://debezium.io/docs/connectors/oracle/</a>. But this still needs GoldenGate license. </p>
