Why teams connect Hibob and Oracle DB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Oracle DB and Hibob share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Hibob is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Oracle DB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob need to exist as queryable JSON columns, Tables, Views, Materialized views in Oracle DB before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs JSON columns, Tables, Views, Materialized views in Oracle DB with Salaries, Time off, Lifecycle, Documents in Hibob field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Hibob typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write changes from SaaS apps back into Oracle so PL/SQL jobs and reports run on current data.
  • 02 Log-based replication of order and inventory tables into an analytics warehouse instead of nightly batch dumps.
  • 03 Sync Time off requests and who's-out data into a scheduling or workforce-planning database for coverage and capacity reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync People (employee) profiles and Work records with a Postgres database so internal apps and directories read profiles in SQL while HR corrections flow back into Bob.

Common sync patterns

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Oracle DB write onto the matching record in Hibob where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Hibob land as queryable JSON columns, Tables, Views, Materialized views in Oracle DB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between Hibob and Oracle DB

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.

Hibob objects Oracle DB objects How this pairing syncs
People (Employees) Core employee records with out-of-the-box and custom fields; read via POST /people/search, created and updated through the /people endpoints. Sequences Key generators to respect when external systems insert rows People (Employees) is specific to Hibob and Sequences to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Historical table of job terms, contract, and working pattern under /people/{id}/employment; full CRUD, entries keyed by effectiveDate. PL/SQL procedures and packages In-database logic that can consume or transform synced data Employment is specific to Hibob and PL/SQL procedures and packages to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Reporting line, department, site, and title under /people/{id}/work; drives the org chart and is synced two-way to directories. Partitions Physical subdivisions relevant when replicating high-volume tables Work is specific to Hibob and Partitions to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Salaries Compensation history at /people/{id}/salaries; full CRUD but gated behind the Payroll permission on the service user. JSON columns Document data stored in the converged engine and synced alongside relational rows Salaries is specific to Hibob and JSON columns to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time off Absence requests and who's-out data via /timeoff/employees/{id}/requests and /timeoff/whosout; submit new requests and read balances. Tables The primary read/write surface for row-level sync over SQL Time off is specific to Hibob and Tables to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lifecycle Hire, termination, and leave status changes at /people/{id}/lifecycle; read-only and the source of lifecycle webhook events. Views Curated read-only projections exposed to downstream consumers Lifecycle is specific to Hibob and Views to Oracle DB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Hibob and Oracle DB

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.

Hibob Oracle DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionHibob notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Oracle DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Oracle DB Hibob Sub-second propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Hibob: Rate limits are enforced per service user; violations return HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset response headers. The docs list POST /people/search at 50 requests per minute, and bulk /people/search is preferred over per-record reads.
  • Oracle DB: Throughput bounded by database resources rather than API quotas.

How the Hibob and Oracle DB connectors work

Hibob

Integration surface
REST API (the Bob API)
Authentication
Service User credentials over HTTP Basic auth (Base64-encoded serviceUserId:serviceUserToken); permissions granted per data category (People, Payroll, Documents) in Bob admin
Change detection
Webhooks fire for employee created/updated/deleted, table-entry created/updated, time off, and lifecycle events; the employee.updated payload flags which fields changed and Bob recommends an API call for the full record. There is no CDC stream, and deleting a table entry fires no webhook (Bob has no table-entry deletion event).
