The Oracle connector supports standard Oracle databases and Oracle Autonomous Database (which requires TLS / TCPS and a wallet certificate). The form is split into three sections — Connection, Credentials, and Wallet SSO Certificate.

What you’ll need

  • A reachable Oracle host and port (default 1521).
  • A service name (not SID).
  • A user with SELECT on the schemas/tables you want exposed.
  • For Autonomous Database, the client credentials wallet (Wallet_<dbname>.zip) downloaded from the OCI console. See Download client credentials.

Connection

The Connection section has a toggle at the top — describe the connection either as host/port/service, or as a single EZConnect-style string. The two views stay in sync: filling host/port/service builds the equivalent string, and pasting a string parses it back into the discrete fields when possible. EZConnect syntax is documented under Easy Connect Naming Method in the Oracle Net Services Administrator’s Guide.

Host & service name (default)

FieldRequiredStored asNotes
ProtocolYesConfigTCP or TCPS (TLS). Autonomous DB requires TCPS.
HostYesConfigDNS name, e.g. db.example.com.
PortYesConfigDefault 1521.
Service NameYesConfigOracle service name, e.g. XEPDB1. See Specifying a Service Name.

Connection string

FieldRequiredStored asNotes
Connection StringYesConfigEZConnect-style DSN, e.g. tcps://host:1522/service_name.

Credentials

FieldRequiredStored asNotes
UsernameYesConfigOracle user.
PasswordYesSecret

Wallet SSO Certificate (optional)

Required for Oracle Autonomous Database and any deployment that uses a wallet for TLS. You can either upload the wallet file or paste its contents. To find the wallet, see Download client credentials — the file you want is cwallet.sso from the unzipped wallet bundle.
Input modeNotes
Upload fileClick Upload cwallet.sso and select the wallet file from the unzipped Autonomous DB wallet bundle.
Paste contentsPaste the raw certificate. Useful when uploading from your machine isn’t possible.
The certificate is stored as a secret. Summation base64-encodes it for you — you don’t need to encode it by hand.

Adding datasets

Source references quote the schema and table names:
oracle:"MY_SCHEMA"."MY_TABLE"

Common problems

Error or symptomLikely cause
ORA-12506 or other wallet errorsAutonomous DB requires cwallet.sso. Upload the wallet and set Protocol to TCPS.
ORA-12541: TNS:no listenerWrong host or port, or a firewall is blocking the connection.
ORA-01017: invalid username/passwordWrong credentials. Oracle locks accounts after repeated failures — an admin may need to unlock.
