Add a Data Source Connection to Your Application with Oracle

  1. Log in to the Kuika platform and open the project you’ll be working on from the Apps screen.
  2. Open the Datasources module from the top menu. In this module, you can view the data sources and actions in your application under the Recently modified and Data sources tabs, search using the Search by name field, and add a new data source.
  3. Click the Create a Database card at the top of the screen. This card allows you to connect to MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle databases.
  4. From the Databases list that opens, select the Oracle (Oracle database) option. You can use the ↑/↓ keys to navigate the list and the Enter key to make a selection.
  1. Enter a name for your data source in the Name field (e.g., userguideoracle).
  2. Click the CREATE button to complete the process. To cancel the operation, use the CANCEL button; to return to the database selection screen, use the < Oracle link.

Note: You can also start the process of adding a new data source by clicking the + icon next to the Sources heading in the left panel.

After these steps, the Oracle connection settings screen opens. At the top of the screen, you’ll find the back button (←), the data source name (with a pencil icon to edit it), and the CREATE button to save the settings. You can enter the connection information using either the Enter fields or Connection string tabs in the Endpoint section.

To connect to an Oracle database running locally, the Oracle Server must be accessible from the internet.
