Require dedicated Query block in Oracle DB integration block

Currently Oracle DB block does not have query block to execute user defined queries (attached screen shot for your reference)

A dedicated Query Block is required to support the execution of custom SQL queries against the Oracle database. This capability will enable users to dynamically retrieve specific records.

The Query Block should accept user-defined queries, execute them securely on the target Oracle database, and return the corresponding results for further processing within the workflow. This functionality will provide greater flexibility in fetching data, validating records, generating reports.

It would be nice to just paste the query directly and get the output.

Below is the example of sample oracle SQL query.

SELECT

o.order_id,

o.order_date,

o.order_status,

c.customer_id,

c.customer_name,

c.email,

oi.order_item_id,

oi.quantity,

oi.unit_price,

p.product_id,

p.product_name,

p.product_category,

s.supplier_id,

s.supplier_name,

(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) AS line_total

FROM orders o

INNER JOIN customers c

ON o.customer_id = c.customer_id

INNER JOIN order_items oi

ON o.order_id = oi.order_id

INNER JOIN products p

ON oi.product_id = p.product_id

LEFT JOIN suppliers s

ON p.supplier_id = s.supplier_id

WHERE o.order_status = 'COMPLETED'

ORDER BY o.order_date DESC;
