Connect to Oracle Financials Cloud Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Oracle Financials Cloud enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Oracle Financials Cloud using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Oracle Financials Cloud Data

1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
   • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
   • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.oracleerp.OracleERPDriver.
   • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
   • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

   • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:oracleerp: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     Using Basic Authentication

     You must set the following to authenticate to Oracle ERP:

     • Url: The Url of the account to connect to. Typically, the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
     • User: The username of your account.
     • Password: The password of your account.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Oracle Financials Cloud JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.oracleerp.jar

     Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:oracleerp:Url=https://abc.oraclecloud.com;User=user;Password=password;

Query Oracle Financials Cloud Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
