Connect with Oracle SQLcl Cloud Connection
SQLcl is a command-line interface used to enter SQL commands. SQLcl connects to an Oracle database.
You can use SQLcl version 4.2 or later with Autonomous Database. Download SQLcl from oracle.com.
SQLcl can connect to the Autonomous Database using either an Oracle Call Interface (OCI) or a JDBC thin connection.
-
If you use Oracle Call Interface (OCI), prepare for OCI, ODBC and JDBC OCI Connections. See Prepare for Oracle Call Interface (OCI), ODBC, and JDBC OCI Connections.
-
If you use JDBC Thin, prepare for JDBC Thin Connections. See Prepare for JDBC Thin Connections.
SQLcl with Oracle Call Interface
To connect using Oracle Call Interface, use the –oci
option, supply the database user
name, a password, and the database service name provided in the
tnsnames.ora
file. For example:
sql -oci

Last Successful login time: Tue Nov 24 2020 08:02:07 -08:00
Connected to:
Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production
Version 19.5.0.0.0
SQL>
When connecting using Oracle Call Interface, the Oracle Wallet is transparent to SQLcl.
SQLcl with a JDBC Thin Connection
To connect using a JDBC Thin connection, first configure the SQLcl cloud configuration and then connect to the database.
Note:
If you are connecting the database using Microsoft Active Directory credentials, then connect using an Active Directory user name in the form of "AD_domain\AD_username" (double quotes must be included), and Active Directory user password. See Use Microsoft Active Directory with Autonomous Database for more information.
For more information, on the connection types
specified in tnsnames.ora
, see Manage Concurrency and Priorities on Autonomous Database.
