Hi there. I am using Oracle 10g. How to fetch data directly to the target system/ oracle database from Biometric devices automatically or manually in Oracle. By the way I don't have any knowledge on other languages. Thanks & Regards Waqar

Thanks for the reply. I like to explain details, we have bio-metric attendance devices in the factory. we download raw data files from those devices in text format and then upload those by Oracle forms to update attendance. now a days push to server is used for direct updating database. I want to know from Oracle can I directly do it without using any other software. If so what is the way and if not then how can i do it easily any other way? Thanks again.

Thanks for the extra information.

This is going to depend a lot on what interfaces are available to and from the biometric device, which means you'll need to speak to them.

I would anticipate that don't have any native Oracle support, but they *may* have things like REST (ie push over http/https). If that is the case, then check out ORDS

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/rest.html

If they have sftp, then they could push to a staging area and you could auto-load with the scheduler because it has file detection facilities.

But this is all going to depend on what the device can support.
