Ab Initio - Lookups On Oracle Database: Summary: Full Article

It is possible to perform lookups on an Oracle database from within Ab Initio without downloading data to a flat file by using a "Join With DB" component. However, using this approach will join to the database for every input record, significantly impacting performance. For optimal scalability, it is generally best to download lookup data as a flat file if it is small (<=500K records), or perform the join if the data is very large.

Adapted from a response by Anand On Tuesday, August 02, 2005 Yes it is possible, if you use a "Join With DB" component. But, remember, this will join to the database for every input record and it will kill your performance. Please bear in mind the scalability of your application before you choose this approach. The best approach is to download them and use it as a lookup file (if the size isn't too big i.e. <= 500K) or do a join (if it's a really big file).
