Notes on using this table

  • Version Numbers:
    • "1.x" means any version starting with a 1 (for example, this includes version 1.4.3 but not version 2.0).
    • "2.0.x" means any version starting with 2.0 (for example, this includes version 2.0.4 but not version 2.4).
    • "1.6+" means any version starting with 1 and is greater than or equal to (>=) 1.6 (for example, this includes version 1.8 but not version 2.4).
  • Use in Datasets - "Yes" means that you can connect to a data source for analysis by creating a connection from the Oracle Analytics home page.
  • Use in Data Models - "Yes" means that you can connect to the semantic layer of a data source and model the data of that type. You can use the Console or Oracle Analytics Developer Client Tool to connect.
  • In addition to the connections types listed on the Connections page, you can connect remotely to other on-premises data sources using The JDBC connection type. See Connect to Remote Data Using Generic JDBC.
  • Your use of third-party data sources is governed by the data source vendor's terms and agreements, and you're responsible for complying with these terms and agreements.

Data Sources Supported for Use with Oracle Analytics Server (sorted alphabetically by Oracle databases first, then other databases)

Note:

To access Cloud databases across the public internet, Oracle Analytics Server must be deployed on a server that doesn't require proxy access. If you're not sure, check with your administrator.
