Hi Tom,

Greetings, we have a requirement to capture data changes for multiple tables and push to Kafka topic in the following format similar to GoldenGate provides.
"op_type":"Insert or Update","op_ts": "timestamp","current_ts": "timestamp", "before" :"Row Data before change", "after" :"Row Data after change"

Since we are not able to use GG at this point in time, exploring combination of PL/SQL and java based solution to push the data to Kafka topic. Please suggest an optimal solution to capture data changes in Oracle 19c. Thanks in advance!

This post is a little dated but it nicely summarises a set of options you could consider

And there are plenty of others, eg, materialized view logs as a capture source etc.

But there's a reason we recommend GG, and its not "oh you want to sell us something" :-) Its proven to be most robust mechanism out there.
