Problem Information

It's not possible to use Dezezium with Oracle CDC when the database is "opened" as read-only.
Before extracting data from the archive log, Debezium creates a control table named LOG_MINING_FLUSH. This will fail in the case that the database is opened/mounted as read-only, and also when the login/user doesn't have CREATE TABLE priviledge/grant.

Use Case

Read-only Standby instances

Some companies provision an Oracle server replica for disaster recovery purposes. Using this replica as a source brings some benefits:

Avoid extra load on a production server that could affect the end-user.
Avoid concurrency with the database replication in the production server.
Avoid consuming throughput from the production server and network.
Avoid the necessity of buying more hardware/network links.
It reduces the procedures required in the case of a disaster happen with main database hardware.
It better utilizes an idle resource that is the replica server

However, a setup like this could raise latency, due to the two levels of replication. But it's a tradeoff that can be accepted in there is no real-time requirements for data freshness, like in most data warehouse and data lake use cases.

Read-only user/login privileges

Using a login with reduced privileges helps in compliance with external audit and corporate governance rules.

I have a standby Oracle RAC instance that is configured as a read-only replica for disaster recovery purposes. It has ARCHIVE_MODE enabled and SUPPLEMENTAL LOG for all DATABASE/SCHEMA. While testing, I have noticed that creates a table name LOG_MINING_FLUSH. This isn't possible/allowed for our standby database. There is an alternative configuration for using Debezium in this case? How can I accomplish this?

Hi @juarezr unfortunately there is not; however could you raise a Jira issue on this with your environment details and we'll discuss to ssee if an alternative can be achieved for read-only standbys.
