Create an Oracle data source using Wallet and OCI

Last modified: 04 November 2024

IntelliJ IDEA uses JDBC drivers to connect to the Oracle server through the TNS protocol. The following driver modes are available:

  • In Thin mode, the JDBC driver always connects to the TNS listener. In this mode, various versions of the JDBC driver can be used.

  • In OCI mode, the JDBC driver uses native libraries. In this case, the JDBC driver's version must be the same as the version of these native libraries.

Oracle Wallet is a set of files that stores all the user credentials such as certificates, certificate requests, and private keys. You can create a wallet by using the Oracle tooling or ask your Oracle server administrator to generate the wallet. For more information about wallets, refer to Creating and Managing Oracle Wallet.
