LEAI — Oracle Database Intelligence & Documentation Engine

LEAI is a reverse engineering, impact analysis, and documentation engine for Oracle Database, specifically designed to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), LLMs, and software engineers maintaining complex enterprise database ecosystems.

---

📌 What Is It?

Enterprise Oracle databases accumulate years of business rules scattered across hundreds of tables, views, triggers, and massive PL/SQL packages (3,000 to 10,000+ lines of code).

Enabling developers or AI assistants to reliably understand such environments is challenging due to three main issues:

1. Token Inefficiency & Hallucinations: Sending entire monolithic packages into an LLM context is expensive, slow, and triggers attention degradation ("Lost in the Middle").
2. Hidden Dependencies: Altering a single column can silently break triggers, views, and procedures across multiple schemas.
3. Synonyms and Aliases: Stored procedures frequently access tables via private or public synonyms (PUBLIC SYNONYM), creating the false impression that referenced objects do not exist or belong elsewhere.

LEAI solves this by extracting the Oracle data dictionary, constructing a cross-schema dependency graph, and formatting the technical context specifically for humans and LLMs.

⚙️ How It Works

LEAI operates via a 3-stage decoupled pipeline:

 [Oracle Database]
       │
       ▼ (leai extract)
 ┌─────────────┐
 │ 1. RAW JSON │ ──> Pure technical dictionary snapshot (DDL, columns, types, PKs, FKs, Synonyms).
 └─────────────┘
       │
       ▼ (leai annotate / leai enrich)
 ┌─────────────┐
 │ 2. YAML     │ ──> Editable business annotations (descriptions, rules, tags). Preserves human
 └─────────────┘     documentation and allows AI to fill missing stubs without overwriting.
       │
       ▼ (leai compile / leai trace)
 ┌─────────────┐
 │ 3. DOCS     │ ──> Markdown with YAML Frontmatter + Mermaid.js lineage diagrams + structured
 └─────────────┘     chunks for Vector DBs (pgvector, Chroma, Qdrant).

Core Technologies & Internal Mechanics:

• Multi-Level Lineage Tracing (trace): Identifies upstream dependencies and downstream consumers with configurable depth (--depth N), automatically computing change risk levels (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL).
• Transparent Synonym & Dblink Resolution: Resolves ALL_SYNONYMS and PUBLIC SYNONYMS directly to their underlying physical target objects, including remote database links (@dblink).
• PL/SQL Semantic Compression: When querying a specific procedure (TEST_PROC) inside a 10,000-line package, LEAI surgically extracts only the requested subprogram body and produces a lightweight signature skeleton of the rest of the package, reducing token consumption by up to 95%.
• Dynamic Contextual RAG (ask & chat): Automatically detects database entities mentioned in user prompts, executes on-the-fly dependency tracing, and delivers a surgical, noise-free context payload to the LLM.
• Native Multi-Provider AI Support: Direct HTTPS REST integration with OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and Ollama (local & free) without heavy external dependencies.

🚀 Quickstart: Using LEAI in Any Project

You don't need to clone the repository. You can use LEAI as a standalone CLI tool in any folder in 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Install LEAI via pip or uv

# Using standard pip
pip install leai

# Or using uv tool (isolated global CLI)
uv tool install leai

---

Step 2: Initialize your project directory

Create a working directory for your database documentation and enter it:

mkdir my-database-docs
cd my-database-docs

Create a leai.yml file in that folder:

# Oracle connection string (supports environment variables ${VAR})
dsn: "oracle://${DB_USER}:${DB_PASS}@${DB_HOST}:1521/${DB_SERVICE}"

# Schemas integrated into your ecosystem graph
schemas:
  - HR
  - FINANCE
  - CORE

# Output directories
rawPath: "./raw"                  # Raw JSON technical snapshots
annotationsPath: "./annotations"  # Business annotations in YAML
docPath: "./docs"                  # Final Markdown docs for RAG

# AI Provider Configuration (Optional - for enrich, ask, and chat)
ai:
  default_provider: "openai"      # openai, gemini, anthropic, deepseek, qwen, kimi, ollama
  temperature: 0.2
  providers:
    openai:
      api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
      model: "gpt-4o-mini"
    gemini:
      api_key: "${GEMINI_API_KEY}"
      model: "gemini-1.5-flash"
    anthropic:
      api_key: "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
      model: "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
    ollama:
      base_url: "http://localhost:11434/v1"
      model: "llama3.1"

Step 3: Run and Explore!

That's it! You can now run LEAI commands directly in your folder:

# 1. Extract technical metadata from Oracle into raw/
leai extract

# 2. Start an interactive AI Copilot chat session about your database
leai chat

# 3. Analyze impact and trace a specific table with Mermaid diagrams
leai trace EMPLOYEES --depth 2

# 4. Auto-enrich business rules using AI without overwriting manual notes
leai enrich

# 5. Compile everything into clean Markdown files in docs/
leai compile
