Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1), data type "Date" will be mapped to "Timestamp" by default. Set JDBC property oracle.jdbc.mapDateToTimestamp=false to avoid data type "Date" being converted to data type "Timestamp".

Creating connections

There are 3 ways to create a connection to an Oracle database in Apache Hop:

  • If you have a SID, use this (old) format: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:PORT:SID.
    Put the SID as is in the database name

  • If you have a service name, use this (newer) format: jdbc:oracle:thin:@//HOSTNAME:PORT/SERVICENAME.
    Put the service name with / prefix in the database name

  • If you want to use TNS format: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host) (PORT=port)) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=service_name)).
    Put the TNS description in the database name and leave the hostname and port empty.
