# Oracle Database Connection

Specifies the options to access an Oracle database.

## Oracle database

You can use a JDBC driver to access an Oracle database from Solaris or Linux. To access the database from Windows, you need an ODBC driver.

On UNIX, ensure that the Oracle database client is installed with JDBC support. The JDBC driver class for the Solaris Oracle client version 8.x is located in the <Oracle client>/product/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip directory. You can also download the latest version of the version from the Oracle web site:

In the Data source URL box, enter the location of the Oracle database server. The syntax of the URL depends on the database type. See the documentation that came with the JDBC driver for more information.

For an Oracle database, the syntax of the URL is:

oracle:thin:@hostname:port:database_name

- hostname is the name of the machine that runs the Oracle database. You can also replace hostname with the IP address of the server.

- port is the port where the Oracle database listens. Ask your database administrator for the correct port address.

- database_name is the name of the Oracle database. Ask your database administrator for the correct name.
