Overview to Querying Oracle Analytics Cloud Semantic Models Remotely

Java Data Base Connectivity (JDBC) is an industry standard API for accessing data sources. Use JDBC-compliant client tools to access semantic models defined in Oracle Analytics Cloud so that you can take advantage of its analytics engine and data abstraction features.

This feature requires Oracle Analytics Cloud 5.6 or later. Before you start, verify that the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance you're connecting to is 5.6 or later. If you're not sure, contact your Oracle representative.

JDBC uses OAuth to secure access to Oracle Analytics Cloud. OAuth is an authorization framework that enables an application to obtain limited access to a protected HTTP resource. In OAuth, applications are called clients; they access protected resources by presenting an access token to the HTTP resource.
