Version 6.7 requires a relational database. We would like to use Oracle.

Question 1 : Are there any restrictions in the naming conventions for Oracle users (schema user, functional user) and Tablespaces ? In other words, do we have a free choice in order to follow our own naming conventions ?

Question 2 : Does the functional user requires more than read/write authorisations ? More meaning alter table etc....

1. The system requires a DB to connect to. For Primary data source, the system creates a few tables as standard. As long as you dont have tables with same name conflicting in your schema, it should be okay

2. You will be invoking the service as the 'named' user that you configure in your JNDI. This will be used for all DB related calls such as Executing Write to data stores, query rules etc., unless you use Query database node and override by providing your own u/n and p/w to connect to. Frankly, I have never worked on any projects that allow users to override or provide their own custom details to connect to DB. But if you want, there is an option available.
