You can create connections to one or more Oracle databases from Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition.
Pre-requisites
NOTE: Dots (.) in the names of Oracle tables or table columns are not supported.
- If you haven't done so already, you must create and deploy an encryption key file for the Alteryx node to be shared by all relational connections. For more information, see Create Encryption Key File.
SSL
If you are connecting to the Oracle database using SSL, additional configuration is required in Oracle.
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition supports the use of the following SSL ciphers to communicate with Oracle:
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 SSL_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA SSL_DH_anon_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 SSL_DH_anon_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5 SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA
For more information, please see the documentation that is provided with your Oracle distribution.

Reference
Connection URL
The properties that you provide are inserted into the following URL, which connects Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition to the connection:
<host>:<port>/<service_name>
Connect string options
The connect string options are optional. If non-standard connections are required, Oracle supports using tsnames format.
When the connect string options field is used:
- The connect string options parameters are prepended with
jdbc:oracle:thin:@. - The following fields are ignored from the form. These values must be specified as part of the tsnames :
- Host
- Port
- Service
- SSL
After you specify the connect string options, the generated connection URL is automatically prepended with the following protocol information. Do not add this to the connection URL or connect string options:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@
Examples are below.
Use SID:
If you are using a service identifier, instead of a service name, please specify your connection string options as follows:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=oracle.rds.example.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl)))
Use TCPS:
If TCPS protocol is required, you can specify your connection string options as follows:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcps)(HOST=oracle.rds.example.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)))
For more information, please see the documentation for the Oracle driver.
