Connect Soda to OracleDB
Last modified on 13-Dec-24
For Soda to run quality scans on your data, you must configure it to connect to your data source.
To learn how to set up Soda and configure it to connect to your data sources, see Get started.
Compatibility
Soda supports Oracle version 21.3 or greater.
Connection configuration reference
Install package: soda-oracle
data_source my_datasource_name:
type: oracle
username: ${USARBIG_USER}
password: ${USARBIG_PASSWORD}
connectstring: "${USARBIG_HOST}:${UARBIG_PORT}/USARBIG_SID}"
Alternatively, you can configure a connection without a connectstring.
data_source my_datasource_name:
type: oracle
username: simple
password: simple_pass
host: host
service_name: service
| Property | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| type | required | Identify the type of data source for Soda. |
| username | required | Consider using system variables to retrieve this value securely. |
| password | required | Consider using system variables to retrieve this value securely. |
| host | optional | Provide a host identifier. Only used when connectstring is not provided. |
| port | optional | Provide a port identifier. Default is 1523. Only used when connectstring is not provided. |
| service_name | optional | Provide a service_name. Only used when connectstring is not provided. |
| connectstring | optional | Specify connection information for the Oracle database. Must be a semicolon-separated list of attribute name and value pairings. See ConnectionString in Oracle documentation. If you do not specify one, Soda attempts to construct a connectstring using host, port and service_name properties. |
Test the data source connection
To confirm that you have correctly configured the connection details for the data source(s) in your configuration YAML file, use the test-connection command. If you wish, add a -V option to the command to returns results in verbose mode in the CLI.
soda test-connection -d my_datasource -c configuration.yml -V
