Question

Oracle DB connection

R

Hi,

I have created a FME workbench v2017 (on my development machine where i got oracle client installed) in which i am reading and writing data into oracle database tables.

Now I need to publish this workbench as a 'jobsubmitter' service into FME server and schedule it to run.This FME server doesn't have oracle client installed.Just wondering is there a way i can connect to the database without oracle client?

I mean can i use JDBC to connect oracle database? If so how could i achive this?

Any response would be helpful.

Thanks,

reachmj

I had a customer using JDBC to read from Oracle and there was a performance hit compared to the native client. Wondering if spatial data is supported through JDBC because I seem to remember it wasn't at some point.

Some info here :

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for your response and apologies for my delayed response as well.The config file changes for the jdbc db connection is to connect to the FME Repository database and i don't know how to connect external DB which we use in our Workbench translation using jdbc without oracle client.So i went with oracle client installation and connecting the DB through tns.

 

Thanks,
