Connect to Autonomous AI Database

Describes methods to securely connect to Autonomous AI Database.

  • About Connecting to an Autonomous AI Database Instance
    After you create database users, applications and tools connect to Autonomous AI Databases using Oracle Net Services (also known as SQL*Net). Oracle Net Services enables a network session from a client application to an Oracle Database server.
  • Connect to Autonomous AI Database Using a Client Application
    Autonomous AI Database is preconfigured to support Oracle Net Services (a TNS listener is installed and configured to use secure TCPS).
  • Download Database Connection Information
    You can download Oracle client credentials, wallet files, from an Autonomous AI Database instance.
  • Connect to Autonomous AI Database Using Oracle Database Tools
    Oracle Database Tools such as SQL Developer, SQL*Plus, and SQLcl can be used with Autonomous AI Database.
  • Connect with Built-In Oracle Database Actions
    You can access Database Actions from Autonomous AI Database. Database Actions provides development tools, data tools, administration, and monitoring features for Autonomous AI Database. Using Database Actions you can run SQL statements, queries, and scripts in a worksheet.
  • Connect with JDBC Thin Driver
    Autonomous AI Database mandates a secure connection that uses Transport Layer Security (TLSv1.2).
  • Preparing for Oracle Call Interface Connections
    Using TLS with Oracle Call Interface connections with newer Oracle Instant Client/Oracle Database Client versions, a wallet is not required. For TLS connections with Oracle Call Interface running on older Oracle Instant Client/Oracle Database Client versions, a wallet is required for both mTLS authenticated connections and TLS authenticated connections.
  • Predefined Database Service Names for Autonomous AI Database
    The tnsnames.ora file provided with the credentials zip file contains the database service names that allow you to connect to your database.
  • Connect with Oracle Analytics Desktop
    Oracle Analytics Desktop makes it easy to visualize your data so you can focus on exploring interesting data patterns. Just connect to Autonomous AI Database, select the elements that you’re interested in, and let Oracle Analytics Desktop find the best way to visualize it. Choose from a variety of visualizations to look at data in a specific way.
  • Connect with Oracle Analytics Cloud
    Oracle Analytics Cloud is a scalable and secure public cloud service that provides a full set of capabilities to explore and perform collaborative analytics for you, your workgroup, and your enterprise.
  • Connection and Networking Options and Features
    Autonomous AI Database provides a number of different connection and networking options and features for connecting to a database.
