Why teams connect Box and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Keep OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) and Box in step: a row in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) for every file in Box, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Box holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Materialized views, Schemas in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) with Events, Files, Folders, Metadata in Box bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate operational tables from OCI to an analytics warehouse with log-based CDC instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 02 Run on-prem Oracle and OCI side by side during a cloud migration while keeping both ends writable.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.

Common sync patterns

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Box shows up as a row in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud), with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) write back to the matching file's metadata in Box, and metadata changed in Box updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) references a file in Box, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

What you can sync between Box and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Box objects OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) objects How this pairing syncs
Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. Schemas Namespace boundaries that scope which objects a sync connection can access Events is specific to Box and Schemas to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. Sequences Key generators that matter when writing new rows from external systems Files is specific to Box and Sequences to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. PL/SQL procedures and packages Server-side logic that can react to synced data or transform it in place Folders is specific to Box and PL/SQL procedures and packages to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. JSON collections Document-style storage in the converged engine, synced alongside relational tables Metadata is specific to Box and JSON collections to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. Partitions Physical table subdivisions relevant when replicating large fact tables Collaborations is specific to Box and Partitions to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. Tables The primary sync surface; rows are read and written directly over SQL Users is specific to Box and Tables to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and OCI Database (Oracle Cloud)

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Box OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Sub-second propagation

DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) Box Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in OCI Database (Oracle Cloud) are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC from redo logs (LogMiner or GoldenGate), or timestamp polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
  • OCI Database (Oracle Cloud): Throughput bounded by instance sizing rather than API quotas.
