How Meridian Works With Oracle
Meridian works with Oracle using two intermediate Meridian components:
- Object cache (<DatabaseEngine>ORA.dll): A database-dependent cache that optimizes queries to Oracle.
- ORAIO driver (HTORAIO.dll): An Oracle-specific component that interfaces between the object cache and Oracle.
The relationships between these components are illustrated in the following figure.
When a Meridian client sends or requests data from the Meridian application server, the EDM Server service communicates with the object cache , which in turn communicates with ORAIO, which then communicates with Oracle on the Oracle server.
