+## Introduction
+
+Apache Gravitino provides the ability to manage OceanBase metadata.
+
+:::caution
+Gravitino saves some system information in schema and table comment, like `(From Gravitino, DO NOT EDIT: gravitino.v1.uid1078334182909406185)`, please don't change or remove this message.
+:::
+
+## Catalog
+
+### Catalog capabilities
+
+- Gravitino catalog corresponds to the OceanBase instance.
+- Supports metadata management of OceanBase (4.x).
+- Supports DDL operation for OceanBase databases and tables.
+- Supports table index.
+- Supports [column default value](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#table-column-default-value) and [auto-increment](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#table-column-auto-increment).
+
+### Catalog properties
+
+You can pass to a OceanBase data source any property that isn't defined by Gravitino by adding `gravitino.bypass.` prefix as a catalog property. For example, catalog property `gravitino.bypass.maxWaitMillis` will pass `maxWaitMillis` to the data source property.
+
+Check the relevant data source configuration in [data source properties](https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/configuration.html)
+
+If you use a JDBC catalog, you must provide `jdbc-url`, `jdbc-driver`, `jdbc-user` and `jdbc-password` to catalog properties.
+Besides the [common catalog properties](./gravitino-server-config.md#gravitino-catalog-properties-configuration), the OceanBase catalog has the following properties:
+
+| Configuration item   | Description                                                                                                                           | Default value | Required | Since Version    |
+|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|----------|------------------|
+| `jdbc-url`           | JDBC URL for connecting to the database. For example, `jdbc:mysql://localhost:2881` or `jdbc:oceanbase://localhost:2881`              | (none)        | Yes      | 0.7.0-incubating |
+| `jdbc-driver`        | The driver of the JDBC connection. For example, `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver` or `com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver` or `com.oceanbase.jdbc.Driver`. | (none)        | Yes      | 0.7.0-incubating |
+| `jdbc-user`          | The JDBC user name.                                                                                                                   | (none)        | Yes      | 0.7.0-incubating |
+| `jdbc-password`      | The JDBC password.                                                                                                                    | (none)        | Yes      | 0.7.0-incubating |
+| `jdbc.pool.min-size` | The minimum number of connections in the pool. `2` by default.                                                                        | `2`           | No       | 0.7.0-incubating |
+| `jdbc.pool.max-size` | The maximum number of connections in the pool. `10` by default.                                                                       | `10`          | No       | 0.7.0-incubating |
+
+:::caution
+Before using the OceanBase Catalog, you must download the corresponding JDBC driver to the `catalogs/jdbc-oceanbase/libs` directory.
+Gravitino doesn't package the JDBC driver for OceanBase due to licensing issues.

+
+### Catalog operations
+
+Refer to [Manage Relational Metadata Using Gravitino](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#catalog-operations) for more details.

+### Schema properties
+
+- Doesn't support any schema property settings.
+

+- Supports DDL operation for OceanBase tables.
+- Supports index.
+- Supports [column default value](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#table-column-default-value) and [auto-increment](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#table-column-auto-increment)..
+
+#### Table column types
+
+| Gravitino Type    | OceanBase Type      |

+| `Integer(false)`  | `Int Unsigned`      |
+| `Long`            | `Bigint`            |
+| `Long(false)`     | `Bigint Unsigned`   | 
+| `Float`           | `Float`             |
+| `Double`          | `Double`            |

+| `Decimal`         | `Decimal`           |
+| `VarChar`         | `VarChar`           |
+| `FixedChar`       | `FixedChar`         |
+| `Binary`          | `Binary`            |
+
+:::info
+OceanBase doesn't support Gravitino `Boolean` `Fixed` `Struct` `List` `Map` `Timestamp_tz` `IntervalDay` `IntervalYear` `Union` `UUID` type.
+Meanwhile, the data types other than listed above are mapped to Gravitino **[External Type](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#external-type)** that represents an unresolvable data type since 0.6.0-incubating.
+:::
+
+#### Table column auto-increment
+
+:::note
+OceanBase setting an auto-increment column requires simultaneously setting a unique index; otherwise, an error will occur.

+
+### Table operations
+
+:::note
+The OceanBase catalog does not support creating partitioned tables in the current version.
+:::
+
+Refer to [Manage Relational Metadata Using Gravitino](./manage-relational-metadata-using-gravitino.md#table-operations) for more details.
+
+#### Alter table operations
+
+Gravitino supports these table alteration operations:
+
+- `RenameTable`
+- `UpdateComment`
+- `AddColumn`
+- `DeleteColumn`
+- `RenameColumn`
+- `UpdateColumnType`
+- `UpdateColumnPosition`
+- `UpdateColumnNullability`
+- `UpdateColumnComment`
+- `UpdateColumnDefaultValue`
+- `SetProperty`
+
+:::info
+ - You cannot submit the `RenameTable` operation at the same time as other operations.
+ - If you update a nullability column to non-nullability, there may be compatibility issues.
