Master/detail inserts and native sequencing in Oracle ESB

The SOA Suite forum on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) contains several posts on the use and configuration of the Database Adapter. This adapter can be used to perform database-related operations such as inserts, polling, invocation of PL/SQL, and so on in your SOA-environment. Some of these forum questions relate to inserting XML data into master/detail tables and how to use native database sequences to populate primary keys and automatically update associated foreign keys. I wrote an article Invoice Processing in a Service-Oriented Environment that contains a step by step tutorial on how to achieve this.
