This document discusses using a database adapter in Oracle Service Bus (OSB) 12c to poll data from a database table. It describes how to create an OSB project, add a database adapter, configure it to poll for new or changed records from a table, add a pipeline, and write the retrieved data to a file using a file adapter. By wiring the database and file adapters to the pipeline with a routing node, the example polls a source database table and writes the data to a target file.
