Why teams connect Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and PostgreSQL

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

Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. PostgreSQL is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Departments (Organizations), Locations, Grades and Salaries, Absences (workerAbsenceEntries) in Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM need to exist as queryable JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL 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 JSONB Columns, Sequences, Custom Types and Enums, Tables in PostgreSQL with Departments (Organizations), Locations, Grades and Salaries, Absences (workerAbsenceEntries) in Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM 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 Feed reporting and BI from a continuously synced Postgres replica instead of scheduled ETL scripts
  • 02 Expose SaaS objects (CRM contacts, ERP invoices, support tickets) as Postgres tables that internal tools can query and join
  • 03 Two-way sync Workers and Assignments with an operational Postgres so internal apps read reporting lines, departments, and locations in SQL while HR keeps mastering data in Oracle HCM.
  • 04 Provision identities and app access downstream when an Atom new-hire or termination feed event fires, joining Workers, Assignments, Departments, and Locations.

Common sync patterns

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.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Departments (Organizations), Locations, Grades and Salaries, Absences (workerAbsenceEntries) replicate into PostgreSQL where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM stay consistent in PostgreSQL, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

What you can sync between Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and PostgreSQL

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.

Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM objects PostgreSQL objects How this pairing syncs
Positions Position-management records used where positions control headcount; synced to keep vacancy and reporting structures aligned with finance/ERP. Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. Positions is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments (Organizations) Org-structure records that define cost centers and reporting lines; typically mastered in HCM and read into other systems. Primary and Unique Keys Used as match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict resolution. Departments (Organizations) is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Primary and Unique Keys to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Physical work locations referenced by assignments; synced so downstream provisioning and directory tools resolve the same location codes. JSONB Columns Hold semi-structured payloads such as nested SaaS objects or metadata. Locations is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and JSONB Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades and Salaries Grade, grade-rate, and worker compensation records; usually read out for compensation and headcount analytics, and written back for corrections. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs. Grades and Salaries is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Sequences to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Absences (workerAbsenceEntries) Time-off and leave entries; synced into scheduling or workforce-management databases for coverage planning. Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. Absences (workerAbsenceEntries) is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workers (publicWorkers) Person master with personNumber, names, national IDs, and work relationships; synced two-way via the /workers resource, which replaced the desupported /emps resource. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. Workers (publicWorkers) is specific to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Tables to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and PostgreSQL

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.

Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM PostgreSQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Atom feeds expose changes-only feeds for key events (new hire, termination, assignment change).

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

PostgreSQL Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM: Oracle publishes no fixed per-tenant REST rate limit; pages are capped via limit/offset and Oracle recommends client-side throttling, backoff, and using HDL for mass loads rather than transactional REST.
  • PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.
